I am currently in the process of filing lawsuits against all of these tenants on behalf of my clients, and I am hoping we can add criminal charges onto the civil suits.

If you get past that, it is a fairly easy process.

I have never seen a hard money loan take 8-10 weeks to process. 

I planned to do a piggyback HELOC to have access to quick capital in case a good next deal came along but it has been a long drawn out process and right at closing they decided they needed a new appraisal.

If you plan on buying these properties using a mortgage its also best to begin the pre approval process and work with an investor friendly lender to help guide and educate you what the best product might be for your projects to make sure you dont already max out your borrowing power after the first deal.

Replatting and renovating could definitely add value, but working with someone who knows the local zoning and permitting processes will be key.

However, I have helped a couple people with extremely basic home layouts when they were in the process of remodeling their home.

Getting close to finishing remodel work but not sure how to proceed with the rental process.

Our thought process, is that we should purchase a property in the villages or very close by as this is a very good middle ground for the said areas above.

So your completely oblivious to the billions in lawsuites lost and in process over issues exactly of this sort?????
