If they are separate, permits would have been pulled and the city will have records of those permits.  

Not sure about this I hope they can pull it out.  

Before you decide to pull the trigger with any Bank/Lender make sure the they are well versed in DSCR guide lines and close more than a couple a month. 

If that's the case I would strongly suggest building your team before pulling the trigger on an Airbnb.

About 100 yard pull from street.  

Only thing better would be initial deposit and then paid in full upon Certificate of Occupancy and punchlist complete.Of course, standard items should also be checked: licensed, insured, willing and able to pull all required permits, reference checks.I would also commonly avoid the cheapest bid you get.  

As a rental, tenants will likely prioritize the location over minor inconveniences.Your strategy of betting on appreciation and eventually pulling equity makes a lot of sense in this market.

From a credit perspective, house hacking also helps you build strong cash flow, which can make it easier to secure financing for future deals.Additionally, if you're targeting high-appreciation markets, you could also look into cash-out refinancing down the line to pull equity and fund additional investments.

Might be a way to get some cash quicker or maybe get a buyer for the land quicker if you can show them they could pull 1k an acre by having someone come clear cut the parcel after they buy it.The local population seems very limiting too.

No Chilling in their plans or pulling up on the gas.
