Wishing - betting death on your tenants?

What @Nathan Gesner said ^^^^ plus....do you have other construction skills like plumbing/electrical/tile/etc?

Best Buy also seems like a strong bet, but they only sell single-game machines.

Quote from @Shelan Davis: I have house under construction in Cape Coral with Whitestone Developments.

That becomes a "he said, she said" in court and I'd bet most judges would side with the plaintiff. ;-)

Your best bet is probably to get your real estate license and start actively being a real estate professional or buy a STR in your market that you can physically be at on a regular basis. 

Although the property is worth way more than the loan we are needing and the secured collateral lien is really a sure safe bet and some easy money for someone willing to take the chance that isn't in it for anything other than to flip their money for profit/wanting to add to their portfolio, this would be an good opportunity for someone just starting out in real estate investment even.

If it was me...I'd check with zoning to find out how many dwelling units I could build, and I'd find what the requirements are for those units (type of house, height and setback restrictions, etc.).Then I'd find out what local builders think the cost to construct would be - just get a cost estimate per square foot for 2 or 3 different levels of finish.

We helped him with a Couple ground up New construction Rentals and He Can use The two property's as new construction experience but not us, this is what had me perplexed.  

That’s the best bet.
