I see the comps are similar in square feet. 

It was about 15k for about 100 feet of driveway all said and done.

Would have bought a  400 K SFH house  which can do STR and if not would be good to do MTR or LTR if the STR approach failsThis would have made my feet wet, got me money and I would have learnt the following1.How to get lenders for loans3.How to create LLC and use umbrella policy4.Build a  network of lenders, PM, contractors and cleaners5.Learn how to transition to MTR or LTR if neededThat would have been my approach to get a  quick start else I would have wasted months  on figuring out what to do:)

This requires about seven permits to shut down a four-lane street for over a week, with an estimated cost of $60,000 due to the need to dig 12 feet deep.I’m reaching out to this community to ask if anyone has faced a similar infrastructure challenge or has experience dealing with such extensive utility work.

I have a 85k budget that I can use to dip my feet into real state.

Even if you don't have an agent, you can go to Open Houses when they have them on more investor properties and get your feet wet off the computer and in the real world.

Get our feet wet and gain some experience in this space and, in 6 months to one year, either purchase another SFH with a mortgage or go for an all-cash purchase and start BRRRRing.
