I am planning either a 3-story 27 unit apartment building OR if I can purchase the combined 0.8ac parcels on each side of me, construct a gated condo community with end to end road access.

And no... attorneys can bill hourly (out of your pocket) or agree to take a case on contingency (from the winnings) or work out a combination of those.

You are wanting to sell an investment property and replace it with a combination primary residence and business location neither of which is an investment property use.

I do have a couple of other options that are not attractive and would be "last resort" kinds of plays that I really don't want to entertain. 

Certainly a strong equity play in addition to the cash flow :) Should be live on Airbnb in march.By the summertime, we expect the combined cash flows from our properties to exceed $20k/month.

I like the fact that the software combines everything into one place.

Any transaction where the rehab exceeds the purchase price is a red flag for the lender, when you add rural, extraordinarily small size, and combine it with a very small loan amount you create a tough situation.

I'd be willing to entertain partnerships here in the US.

I know no one that can help me figure out if combining the two lots will help reduce my property taxes.  

Properties close to the beach, dining, and entertainment will perform better on platforms like Airbnb.
