Quote from @Lee Johnson: I’m in the early planning phase of a real estate development project and would love your insight and guidance.I’m looking to purchase land and build a small apartment complex consisting of 1 to 10 units, with a mix of layouts: 1-bedroom, 1-bath lofts with in-unit washer/dryer2-bedroom, 1-bath apartments with in-unit washer/dryer3-bedroom, 2-bath units with washer/dryer hookupsThe vision is a modern, efficient design targeting working professionals and small families, ideally in a growing urban/suburban area with strong rental demand.As a first-time developer, I’m trying to figure out the best path to secure funding for:Land acquisitionConstruction costsSoft costs and contingenciesI’m open to various financing options, including hard money, private lenders, construction loans, JV partnerships, or even syndication if that makes sense at this scale.So my main questions are:How would you recommend structuring financing for a project like this?

Over time I have replaced the AC, water heater, dish washer, car port, roof, and several minor fixes.

Over a 10 year time horizon I am projecting that cash flow, combined with appreciation, combined with tax benefits will do much better than an S&P 500 index fund.

However, I’m concerned that the recent employment gap, combined with the instability of contract work, might make it difficult to qualify for a loan.I reached out to the broker with these concerns but haven’t heard back, so I’m turning to BiggerPockets for advice.What’s the best path forward?

The properties available in that area fitting our criteria are around 200-250k, and we have around 45k combined saved.

The plan is to list the property, use the proceeds to pay off about $37K in debt, and combine our savings and any profits to start fresh in Georgia.

Most property managers and landlords use a combination to get the most exposure.
