Quote from @Raif Jochim: Bigger Pockets Community -I'm trying to plan for the future and have a question I'd like your thoughts on.  

At some point you have to make the actionable plan.  

More than happy to connect and strategize game plans any time.

Unless you negotiate a new contract or addendum with your PMC, they do NOT have to abide by any requests/demands you make that contradict what's written in the management contract.If they have in fact NOT followed the terms of their contract, then you'll want to send them something in writing pointing out the specific language in their contract that they violated and ask what they plan to do about it.If they fail to correct or address the issues, then you'll want to start looking for a new PMC.

You need to minimize upfront expenses because 100% of your investment is at risk and lost if the lot is not buildable.My favorite strategy is to locate the property and tie it up for usually no more than $100 for a period of 8-12 months, analyze it myself and if I believe it to have a chance at being buildable I create a permitting plan and market the property to other investors/builders willing to take on the permitting risk.  

@Dustin Horner 10 units probably won't even cover PT.Unless you plan to scale to 50+ units, you're probably better off hiring a PMC.

She is planning on renting out to section 8 and has pacified my worries about section 8 tenants.

My plan would be to use the equity loan from the second home to purchase another great deal (3rd home) and use the rental income from the second home to pay towards the equity loan and then start renting out the third home to get rental income and start paying off the mortgage on the 3rd home.

I am subletting a property that I am planning on purchasing the set up where instead of any type of security deposit I am re-having the property which is necessary before I rent it out.I will have about $20,000 in expenses all before I purchased the property.

Or, plan on this being a nest egg builder and growing your equity, living in the home for 2 of the last 5 years and then selling with Section 121 exclusion.
