You didn't mention if you have experience building, selling and facilitating Sr.

Something to consider is that you mentioned you had a day job so I’m assuming you’re not a real estate professional.

We have been swept by the influencers touting the benefits of cost seg, so we are wondering how come nobody ever mentioned that it might not fully appy during the first year in service.You relied on two almost equally awful sources of information: influencers and IRS publications.

As mentioned above.

As Remington mentioned above, I would be cautious while wholesaling since so many wholesalers try to go around without disclosures and simple contracts.

You mentioned a creek, so finding a few flat/clear-ish areas with a nice view of the creek could be all you need.  

AAA The first step like others have mentioned is the zoning board and an architect. 

@Sharon Israel - Since you mentioned "community" as one of your key desires, I would recommend you check out Jack and Gino's community for multifamily investors.

You mention that "Huntington is valuing it way lower...".

And then you have to take steps to keep them from being pierced like @peter mentions?
