Building in general is time consuming and a general PIA.  

So far it's been a little stressful and time consuming but, for now, I'm so happy that I took the plunge and am searching for property #2!

And that's assuming we aren't in winter, which this could be delayed until, because all evictions then get stayed until the temperatures come back up.Its time consuming and expensive.

I would do the financing and my family member would self manage at the property and get a cut of the cash flow, this to me is a low money down option and also not very time consuming as I would not be the boots on the ground.  

A few action steps you can take immediately:1)  EDUCATION & CONNECT: Believe me, you haven't watched enough videos and books, BUT without any CONTEXT (which only comes from real-world experience) most of the information/knowledge you're consuming is LOST on you and the seeming immensity of it all is potentially weighing you down preventing you from taking any action at all.Mistakes are inevitable.

Again, this might end up not being a bad thing for you -- it stands to reason that the higher the bar to entry, the fewer players there are.What I would do is call a lawyer in your area who loudly and proudly announced on his website that he deals with foreclosures and ask him where you should start learning about the foreclosure process in Worcester County.New Hampshire's even more interesting.

If the car wash is automated, you have capital equipment, service, consumables, maintenance, etc. all to deal with.

We will keep to a conservative formula, even if we end up doing a lot fewer deals.

Have you tried  to go one partner on loan who has fewer liabilities? 

In general there are fewer buyers for land.
