Please, guys before you say something, put some thought into it because you come across as "knowledgeable," and people will fall for it while you're steering them the wrong way.Please stop telling people it's about patience and persistence.

@Niaz ButtI’m either calculating it based on a similar project or using a cost psf that I know is very conservativeFor developers who’ve done many many projects they have the advantage of having so much more knowledge than I do

As an individual or first-time investor- House Hack, lower interest rate/downpayment programs, local market knowledge, Rent a room, STR your house, Military BAH payments, etc.B. 

I would love to connect with realtors & discuss local market knowledge, recommendations & overall support.

Open to all shared knowledge. cheers, DanHi Daniel!

That prevents one spouse from selling a property with homestead rights without knowledge of the person sharing those.   

My constraints are that I am only 24 and do not have any previous lending history nearly to this capacity, as well as having limited knowledge on how to structure these deals with subdivisions.

I'm looking to connect and surround myself with locals who enjoy sharing their knowledge and experiences, and remember what it's like starting out (especially if you've successfully taken this approach recently).

Most of them are not specialists in the way that youre thinking - they're retail employees with baseline knowledge of the products in that area.

Because they never lived there, their obligation to disclose anything about the property is typically zero and they just do don't have any knowledge about the property.
