Looking forward to your success! 

While not necessary to be successful in RE going to college can be a fun experience prior to adulting and having a business degree is a well thought out safety net.

So I had a solid enough down payment that I thought, why not go out of state where it's cheaper, where I have friends who've been successful and can get more bang for my buck?

I’d love to hear about your goals and what you’re hoping to achieve here.

In Michigan, the ultimate garnishment is state tax refunds (federal cannot be garnished).Not seeing how you are going to successfully do this on your own - remotely:(

To this day, I still haven't seen someone in my network successfully executing the creative financing options.

Deep down, he worries he’s not successful, confident, or attractive enough to "deserve" a beautiful partner.

I love that you have found passion in REI and have laid down a path to success with your three approaches.Of the 3 activities you are in, do you prefer one over the others? 

They are very different.Probate and succession vary by state, so contact a probate attorney in the state the property is in for further details. 

There are good relations with the neighbor so this likely wouldn't be terribly difficult to pull off, but I haven't ever developed a property from scratch so I would definitely like the opportunity to partner with someone on this to help ensure the success but first I want to finish the smaller property to have sufficient funding available if it is needed.
