The resources and books you mentioned, like the BiggerPockets Ultimate Beginners Guide and The Book On Rental Property Investing, sound like excellent starting points.Prioritizing financial stability and eliminating debt is crucial, and I agree that a solid financial foundation is key to successful investing.

(I am a silent investor, the developer is doing all the heavy lifting, and we split profits at the end)It sounds like you’re being really strategic here, which is smart.

Sounds like you are making it work. 

Hi Shruti,That sounds like my type of REI investing, feel free to add me to your Network would love to talk shop some time or help in any way.

You have the means to purchase and intend to offer owner financing (you) to the buyers of your lots.That sounds pretty straight forward as long as you are able to carry the loans and deal with any defaults.I don't have a background in raw land deals, so that's all I got.Thanks for the feedback and I will keep these things in mind as I move forward. 

Sounds like you have a badass mindset and exactly what you need to succeed!

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

@Treza Edwards sounds like the terms from a community bank in your area, is that right?

Ordinarily those tenant vacated damages would be too remote, but it sounds like they were contemplated by both parties at the time of contract.Were I in this situation I would be looking to state law to determine if the EMD is truly the extent of my potential liability as a buyer. 

So it sounds like me you built additional equity into the home your living in now.
