I've seen many a trust sold to people that didn't really need it, like using a bazooka to kill a house fly.

It was zoned light commercial, but after going through a long process with the county, I was allowed to build on it using a use permit, and keep the light commercial zoning.

I knew this was wrong, did some research, and realized that he was using a real lawyer name and profile.

Hi Ashley, Try asking your lenders to calculate the absolute highest amount you're qualified to borrow (assuming you're using a HELOC or LOC and not having to calculate for each individual property).

,Why are you not using a Property Manager? 

Using a per square foot estimation for rehabs can get you into trouble as they are terribly inaccurate and those that teach or preach this method are way off (with the exception of the rehabber who does 5 a month every month, all the homes are very similar and of similar size so one could have an "average" over 60 qty in a year).

Also, I would very highly recommend using a Real Estate Agent.  

What are some examples of How could I buy this property using a land contract?

You will probably be better served picking one location and knowing it well rather than using a wide net of locations till you get some deals under your belt.

Using a middle man landlord will just raise money laundering concerning.  3) I do not think a bank is going to be interested in anything near 85% LTV.Now if you were talking about a tech start up like Tesla?
