If your partner ever what's to wholesale any of the deals he finds, I would be interested in looking at them for myself or my clients 👍🏻 Find cheap inventory in today's market is no easy task!

Try to develop relationships with business bankers at small local banks to see what criteria they look for in a deal.One other thing to note, is that even though it is possible to get a commercial loan on a house, many banks don’t like to bother with commercial loans on low dollar amounts as it is expensive and time consuming on both sides.

I am a active investor/ realtor here and would love to educate you on the developments in this market.

The property was built by a wealthy developer in the 1930's as a ~5200 sqft duplex (the mother-in-law lived upstairs apparently), but over the years has been split into five apartments with a sixth apartment added in the garage.A little over two years ago, my wife and I purchased a house to live-in-flip, expecting to make a ~$75k in tax-free profit. 

To make a long story short, a friend of mine's family has received interest in their farmland from developers.

The method I've been using is looking for new construction, specifically of grocery stores (Follow the Walmarts haha) or housing developments.

Not exactly the same scenario as his interest was development but he did a great job of laying out how he got where he is no so quick through college working for a developer.

I just realised that a residential developer purchased about 20 acres right across the street from where those lots are.

My thoughts are it wouldn't be a bad idea to have a property manager taking care of one of my units, then as the deals develop (and they prove themselves) give them more opportunity.

While there may be some policy issues worth debating surrounding incentivizing affordable housing development, and L&I is a total nightmare, these are two completely separate things.
