I started my investment company 3 years ago.At the moment I am upgrading my longterm investment (3 appartment/1 office/1 workshop) buildingFlipping a development-property bought 1 month agoKeeping some sellerfinance-notesSo... progressing slow and steady - my challenge is getting financing(My flipping strategy does not allow mortgages - only hard money loans)

I would develop very thick shin, and leave your emotions at home, almost become a robot when it comes to dealing with tenants and becoming a landlord.

I’ll do that in addition to working with an agent. sounds like my best bet as most of my time is spent at my day job (web developer). 

I'm not sure exactly what you're asking here, but most conventional lenders will only participate in a land deal if you have an immediate plan to develop it (which it sounds like you do).3.

Value add real estate development will take a big hit. 

I'm seeking input on what the BP community thinks is a fair fee for my role in finding investment for a land-development transaction. - The seller owns about six empty lots in TX in a desirable city.

:)It does not matter where you start as long as you develop your Core 4.

We started driving around our market, taking note of new developments and properties for sale.
