I spend so much time finding the 'right' properties across multiple markets on Zillow before I even evaluate in my buy box.

We are building a place with HELOCs then after it is built we will finance it and pay off our HELOC, at least thats our plan. 

Almost every realtor has several investors ready to invest at least $2 million in cash.If you’re planning to use hard money loans, agents won’t show properties without prior proof of funds.I’m curious, is this a general market trend in Ohio or just this particular realtor’s approach?

is why they want a payment plan.. personally I would take them up on it. 

It's not only the money you'll lose, it's the time you spend (I figure worth $100 hr) and the mental anguish and stress.

Through your local bank that you are using, are you reapplying for each new home for a seperate construction loan or are you setup as a credit line with them and just submit a new budget for each new home 7 mil credit line  ... new budget for each plan that has been pre appraised in the MAI at the beginning of the project.. they did have to update the Mai last summer but again did it at their cost not mine.. banks have to paper their files.. even though we are selling the same floor plans for 100k more per plan than the original numbers came it at and bank has been paid and has all the closing statements showing this data..

I'm in the market for entity config and tax planning/prep.

Last I heard, they were planning to expand - as far as I can tell they cannot handle their current workload.The tenant can complain about a problem for months before it is fixed.

If you're planning on managing the rental unit yourself, you'll learn a lot about owning rentals pretty quickly.

I plan to sale the lots that way.
