It's listed at 50k+ but I don't have 10k as a down payment via a traditional mortgage, hence why I was leaning toward an FHA loan.

I'm sure I will need to lean on your construction expertise at some point in the future.ss

Ultimately , I leaned more towards the multifamily and notes discussions, however there were many more great topics to choose from such as syndication, increasing cash flow, and even big profits with tiny houses.

You are putting a deposit down for the appropriate governing body to foreclose on the property for delinquent property taxes.

I have been leaning way further to MFH's and I am seeing that out of state is giving much better returns (at least what I have been able to find).

That newer asphalt, or when it is resealed or newly striped, looks pretty sharp (but then you have some costs and maintenance), but I am not sure the attractive lot would bring much more in rent nor would gravel drive off good tenants.Finally, I shovel snow with the body sled type shovels and it would knock me out without a smooth surface underneath like asphalt or cement, so with gravel maybe check how that would work with your snow removal system (be it shovel, snowblower, or plow truck)...probably gravel best fit for plow truck...Best of luck

Both offices had a good handful of bodies at the locations along with a few appeared to be customers onsite, but i'm a little worried about all the fees and monthly expenses i was presented with along with the commision rates.

you will not regret being more lean with the budget as you continue your journey.  

It's been challenging getting accurate comps, and I'm leaning toward deciding that MLS access will be worth getting the license.

Is there a governing body I can contact?
