You need pull the blower out and clean the assembly.

With my limited knowledge of investing in US.1) select a market, choose emerging market with the best job growth.2) know your product, whether SFH, Multi, raw land, storage, land development, commercial or industry...3) define your strategy- buy & hold, flip, wholesale ...4) assemble your ground team- realtor, property manager...etc & ask them for referral for contractors, home inspectors.5) make connections with local investors , BP is the best place( I wish I found BP earlier).6) get help with legal entity structure & cross border accountant, set it up properly.7) visit the area you are going to investment.

I hadn't even gotten as far as vetting local contractors to do any necessary work, but that's big part of the team I'll need to assemble. 

At the top of the storm door should have had a chain spring assembly as to stop the door from extending to the point that it gets broken.

There are only handful of nationwide lenders offering such loans, I've assembled the list over the years for my clients which might be helpful to you as well, you can find it here:https://www.biggerpockets.com/blogs/2810/50272-lis...Hope this helps.

This all seems fairly basic, Henry Ford did not build an assembly line of the first mass produced car by hitting the snooze button.

I get a lot out of all the talent there assembled in one room.

@Briana Johnson  you can simply talk to new construction builders in the area.. if they are big enough they will have an acquisition person... in 10 minutes you will be able to figure out if the lots your looking at have any value other than to a neighbor.. if there is no spec building going on in the immediate area then the value is probably little to nothing.. unless their is a land assemble going on for some much larger development

(before assembling my team of contractors/real estate agents/lawyer)When do I reach out to apply for the traditional loan?

Very easy to assemble.
