Long Distance Rehab and first time subdividing

[Matt Fisher]

I am likely going to have an opportunity to purchase a home and 10 acres from a relative north of LaCrosse / Onalaska Wisconsin.  It is located in a rural 'subdivision' in the town of Holland.

I know the home well and understand what is needed from a rehab perspective.  However, this is 4 hrs from home so I need a trustworthy team on the ground and I'm actively soliciting advice regarding contractors and realtors.

I have a cube van loaded with tools and the ability to do almost any type of rehab work, but I will contract some of that too for expediency's sake... I know almost nothing about the local codes and I would love to speak with any local investors that know the in's and out's of this.  Likewise, I would like to subdivide the property into a couple more lots-again, any advice would be beneficial. 

Thanks and Regards,
Matt
