(Don't just not register without getting advice; it could be a criminal offense to not register). 

No offense, but I don't believe that wholesalers or doing deals remotely are the problem.

The commie-pinko greenie weenies (No offense to any here, just playin') say that copper has natural anti-microbal properties and is healthier than CPVC, which might impart toxins into your drinking water.

As a taxpayer, I find their policy highly offensive.

Ok, so it looks like a few of us are on the "front lines" of this issue here, and it's kind of like the first time a tank rolled on the field in WWI, I'm just a sitting in my trench stuck on stupid staring at this un stopable thing wondering "what the frack do I do now???".

Please disregard any offensive statements.

Trent no offense but you are talking about a pipe dream.So you have zero experience yet want a huge payout.I have worked for developers assembling land.My biggest project was on about 25 acres with a 600,000 sq ft mixed-use retail project with an after build value of 150 million dollars.Money is tight right now and unless you have an awesome piece of land most developers are doing repositions where they can reface a shopping center and make new again.This cost much less money than building from scratch.New development has a bunch large down requirements as construction projects are required in phases for lending.What I have seen happen is they bought a piece of land as a group.Leveled it with the first phase of money and then starting putting in pipes and concrete and the second round of funding fell through.They could line up more funding but it is much more expensive then what they had before and the percentages would affect to much the partners that have already put in money.So in those types of situations the partners would much rather wait for the lending environment to get better to get reasonable terms for the next round of funding to finish the project plus rent rates will have most likely improved by the time it is built instead of right now and concessions will be down.Holding costs while waiting is a concern but is balanced against other factors.The anchor for a big project like that will wait a few years if the location is that good.If it is a sub par corner the anchor will cancel their commitment and move to a better location instead of waiting for that one to be built.If you like development go work for a firm with experience and put in your time learning the ropes.To think about this other stuff is a waste of time.

I was out voted by the bean counters (wife & mom lol)No offense to Wife and Mom but what experience do they have in rehabbing that would have you taking that advice so strongly?

Buyers are going to buy and sellers are going to sell no matter how much NAR pays an advertising agency to come up with the ads.But I take offense that real estate agents are just in the business to line their pockets.

Rarely does it turn into a borderline offensive experience.
