And for those that I may be wanting to connect with that don't sign up from an email link, I will text them first, with a message along the lines of "I just wanted to check in and hear how you've been, address any questions, and give you a quick update on recent initiatives we have been working on" (or something along those lines).  

Would be great to reconfigure the lot lines on the two additional parcels so they'd both meet the minimum to build.

I'm thinking along the lines of $30k of equity, so sell me the house at $280k.

The bottom line is that you'll want to learn from someone for the first handful of deals and progressively take more and more on yourself until you can fly on your own.

The line "not your buyer" is quite a bit different than "not a buyer."

And are you looking for turn-key properties or something along the lines of a "fixer upper"?

There’s no reason to go through a disaster (I'm mid recovery myself) and not get the financial upside by becoming the developer and selling a finished product versus raw land.If you have to completely rebuild, it’s a two year process at minimum.

having a HELOC to have an emergency line is smart since if you really need it in a crunch you could draw funds within 1-2 days or less in most cases.

In the buyer line we would always write "*entity name* and/or assignees".

I think they've done a great job of building their product and if you already have a property listed on Airbnb, it's super easy to import to MiniStays (though it's not difficult to list your property there if you don't.)
