I'm currently working to partner with the larger property management companies like Greystar, and Costar to ask them to modify their anti-short term rental policies, in short term friendly cities like Scottsdale.

I would be interested for Buy Low, Sell High strategy but modified one because original primary one doesn't meet fourth requirement, perhaps not even third.

I'm also curious to learn more about raw land investing, and of course, am entirely open to the experience of others and will likely change/modify this initial shell of a plan as I learn more and gain more experience.My goal with real estate, on a broad scope, is to build wealth via passive income in order to enable a lifestyle in which my wife and I can make traditional work optional and use our time to engage in meaningful projects and endeavors to help others in need around the world.Thank you again for building such an impressive community!

I'm aware of freedom to contract and just because we use a standard form as a basis doesn't mean that we can't adjust or modify any of the standard clauses right (by means of strikethrough, deletion or addition of language)?  

During the hearing you can say something like, "Neighbor A was concerned about topic X so we modified Z and have now resolved their concern."

The problem is that the seller was trying to sell the house for over a year and they weren't able to sell it for an amount close to the city evaluation, so they ended up applying to modify the home value in the city's books (assessed home evalution) so their yearly taxes would be less.

@Jay Hinrichs here only a lawyer can edit or modify the terms of the contract. 

There are plenty of PMs that will tell you that their rep agreement is standard and they don't modify them.

Yeah, what @David D'Errico said above.....With utility expenses over $500/mo, you either need to find a way to sub-meter or implement a modified RUBS system. 

In order to do a construction loan with a VA loan you would need to find a lender with a Fannie/Freddie style "One Time Close" construction loan....that would allow you to modify it into a VA loan.
