I'm way too expensive and it cuts into my fishing time.

A lot of the contractors call my town Coffinville, as in you'll end up in a coffin if you come here.Only thing in Sour Lake Texas is mosquitoes and craw-fish, The craw-fish is much better eating but you end up eating more mosquitoes. 

Yeah renting up units is like shooting fish in a barrel in Columbus, Ohio.

If your income is quite lumpy or you have a good rational for an annual payment, there is no reason the IRS is going to challenge this.For example, the owner of a fishing boat will have very lumpy payments.

I always say owning a property paid off in your own name is like playing Russian Roulette with a semi auto.Even if it somehow sped your growth it's like dangling bait fishing for a lawsuit theft.But sadly nobody around me will listen."

I am also a Virginia Tech graduate (Go Hokies!).   

Now on the east coast I and mid south etc my banker at Ameris bank who is banking my FLA stuff said they have now cut their construction spec loans to 400k max and retail exit 550k max.. so to your point the high end builder doing million plus are going to have to go shopping or they are much stronger than us and can get the larger loans.. we are just a small fish as it comes to volume of building even though we are making very healthy profits.

(Ski resort, golf course, air strip, Appalachian Trail hiking, swimming pool, fishing, etc.)

These were largely sourced pre-CV19, so eat the fish and spit out the bones.Try local community bank or credit union for investment properties.
