When I pressed them about the dead LLC they said that the error must be on my end.Screen shot directly from the Ohio Secretary of State website below.

It may make sense to save a bit more and invest from a position of power.Keep in mind most helocs are adjustable.

ThxSachinHi Sachin, if you're looking for the best investment opportunities in terms of positive cash flow, they're not going to come from new builds.

But I said at the time that one day I’ll be in a position to take advantage of dropping prices, and I think this is the time.

The land loan is in 1st position on title which would put the loan to build in 2nd position.

If you rented this home and it was putting $3K positive cashflow yearly in your pocket, the returns would be 3/4=7%.  

The 1st position loan is paid off but has a second position heloc on the home with 50k balance.

Quote from @Monish Anand: Start by looking for personal recommendations from investors in that market, then look on realtor.com or a google search.DO NOT use agents suggested by a website like realtor, Zillow, etc.

When we purchased our laundromat, it had a strong brand and positive reviews online.
