I’ve spent the last 10+ years working hands-on in new home construction, remodeling, and residential project management.Recently, I launched Roman Property Developments (RPD) with the goal of transitioning into investing—starting with wholesaling off-market deals and eventually growing into new development projects.I know I’ve got a lot to learn on the investing side, but I also believe my construction background gives me a leg up when it comes to evaluating properties, estimating repairs, and seeing the potential in undervalued deals.Looking to connect with other investors, buyers, and pros here in Michigan.

The idea is to establish a repayment agreement in which they pay me back over 13 years, with the goal of eventually reclaiming ownership once the full amount is repaid.Legally, the home is owned by my grandparents, though my parents have maintained it for years and are listed on the title.

I feel like doing it this way will eventually catch up to you and you may lose EMD money or be sued for breach of contract. 

There is enough land on the lot to build an additional set of 4 2 bedroom apartment units eventually so I'd like to look at cashflowing the original investment and then consider refinancing into a bigger build out later to create new apartments (rolling seller financing into it...).   

@Bobby Paquette — I think it’s just you, a few tumbleweeds, and a bunch of AI server farms out there right now 🤖🌵But seriously, Abilene’s been making headlines with all the AI infrastructure development, which could eventually bring jobs, housing demand, and rental opportunity.

Eventually, we will work to pay this property off and use a HELOC on it to purchase more properties!

I'm planning on getting started with real estate and building my portfolio through rentals and eventually commercial property.

Eventually I would then hold some property in the SDIRA. 

I'd eventually plan to move purchase to an LLC but that's down the road. 

There were issues with noise from kids, late-night disturbances, and guests getting annoyed—too many factors you can’t control.I eventually shifted to single-family homes in Cape Cod, and that model has been much more effective and manageable.
