You’re right: serious developers don’t replace pre-app meetings, civils, or title services with software.

I’ve been analyzing the overhead costs for high-volume wholesaling, and it seems the 'standard' path of paying $5–$10 per motivated seller lead is a major bottleneck for scaling.As a developer, I wanted to see if I could engineer a 'lean' strategy to bypass expensive third-party platforms.

But after this first property I think I want to do new construction since I'll have an ample amount of money and comfortable taking loans out (using OPM) I wanted to know if anyone knew of some good architects I can use for my first project and different hml that are willing to work with first time developers with no prior?

One thing I always encourage my clients to do is to secure their investment legally, not just contractually.For example: where possible, I advise them to register a charge against the developer.

From what I'm seeing in today's market, the investors who are winning the best deals are the ones who have speed and certainty of execution on their side.I'd love to connect with active flippers, developers, and wholesalers (whether you are local to SWFL or anywhere else in the state).Quick question for the active investors here: What is the biggest bottleneck you are seeing in your business right now?

I imagine a Lawyer would assist in this, but not sure if their role would help to develop the plan or just to prepare the documents.The idea is we would be having one party live in the duplex in order to allow Owner Occupied financing (lower down payment and interest rate so long as owner occupied for 1 year) and the party would live there for the one year.

For that reason, financing is harder upfront but becomes easier after the property becomes stable.After you reach 200+ beds, you get into a range where institutional lenders, Housing and Urban Development programs, and other sources can be come available sources for financing.

I frequently interact with developers and planners in my area.
