@Diana JingCongrats on your progress so far! 

That is your best bet to ensure it is watered regularly. 

I would keep asset-based loans in mind moving forward as you progress in your investing journey. 

If you are looking for cash flow typically multiple unit properties are going to be your best bet but might require a little more work up front and there are not a lot of them around the area to scoop up right now.

That Realtor also takes pics of the progress for us and does onsite inspections of how it is going.

Are you betting on appreciation in your investment strategy?

Goodmorning Johana,Best bet is we refinance the note and see what kind of terms we can get going on this.Typically can close fairly quickly here in texas using hard money notes.

I previously worked with a contractor to help with permits and drainage since there’s a possible wetland issue, but unfortunately things fell through between us and I didn’t make progress. 

You can probably do it in areas without zoning or farmland, but it is very difficult in a traditional residential zone.Your best bet is to look for areas along busier roads that are currently residential and turning commercial or already turned commercial with lingering residential.

If you're using all cash then obviously that's not an issue.Another thing to consider is if the land has deed restrictions, checking on the city website or MLS would be your best bet there.I'd love to learn more about what you're trying to do and maybe be able to help answer any questions you might have!
