If this is not possible, take some time to get to know and be-friend the other HOA board members before you waste money with an attorney.

Wasting Time - @Fareen E.

And, yes, there are years of data points to validate that just within my office, tens of thousands of dollars of wasted appraisal and inspection fees for deals (mostly not mine, thankfully) that had 0.00% of going anywhere but the "Loan Application Declined" bin. 

Wondering if it will be a waste in fees paid to either HELOC or Cashout Refi because there may be a possibility of having to sell to get the primary residence we want next year and end up paying Realtor fees to sell it. 

That could help narrow down some solid markets for your first deal.Good luck with building a team and making connections.

Some exceptions can be made but the only real way around it would be to get a solid cosigner for the loan with a good W2.

Once completed, the property was resold to new homeowners, providing a solid return on investment.

I want to create something that adds value to the industry, so I'm looking to build a solid foundation in this field.

Also what are solid reasons/hardships I can list in my rezoning request that will get it approved?

Stop hanging out with your deadbeat buddies who spend all day drinking, talking sports, and otherwise wasting away.
