The other approach is to put the land under contract, and then get it entitled and round up buyers so that when you close, your bank account gets fat.

Quote from @Gene Livingston: Quote:  However we are scared.I'm not your financial advisor, but perhaps you SHOULD be scared, especially if you are risking your home equity.

Gene, it has not been easy, particularly for a hot blooded Italian who would like to go old school on these people, but better judgement has prevailed.

@Gene Finley what is the purpose of moving your renters to a new unit and not keeping them in the one they are currently in?

What they do know is that their new owner came in with a bunch of promises and no action, and immediately hit them with a fat 17.64% rent increase.You're going to get pushback with your plan.

This will allow you to gain some valuable experience doing a rehab and hopefully get rewarded with a fat chunk of equity in your primary residence. 

@Gene Hacker interesting times indeed.

@Gene Jung well, sure. 

All the Meetups I attend seem to be at Tex-Mex places, which I like, but someone who can't eat dairy/carbs/fat/meat would have a hard time.
