 @Chris SeveneyThe long-shot play I became aware of; Capital Improvement Project Funding that the city/county have allocated for projects that meet 2 criteria.Have a lifetime greater than 10 yearsCost more than $50,000I believe, even if the water and refuse collection run is only 1000 ft, that may not qualify but to do it "right", that two mile run would allow the entire subdivision to be supplied with services.

Commercial loans require 20-30% down, but you might qualify for an SBA loan with just 10% down if you occupy 51% of the space.

I do have my buying range in mind and I agree with you 100% getting pre qualified would help out a lot determining if that is actually realistic as well as gives me opportunity to start analyzing more deals that are attainable for me. 

Look for someone with at least five years of experience in your market.You should find 2-3 qualified contractors with comparable bids.

However, the 10% early withdrawal penalty will still apply unless you qualify for an exemption.

The absolute BEST (and most expensive solution) is a highly qualified attorney who’s a specialist in estates, because they will provide the optimum documentation, legal thinking, and specialized situation for every client.

To qualify for REPS, the taxpayer must spend more than 750 hours per year in real estate trades or businesses in which they materially participate, and more than half of their total working hours must be spent in real estate activities.
