I realize you could grow faster if you maxed out leverage but...

Many people do not realize you do NOT need a title company or attorney to do a closing on vacant land.

You know, I took time to realize I made a splash recently, and to my knowledge I introduced myself! 

I recently used this company that got me approved for 8 credit cards that gave me a line of credit of $60K...after going to a few guru classes, they told me I could use the credit cards as "investor cards" and use towards my down payment/ closing costs, I quickly realized 1) the credit cards to use for down payment / closing cost is counted as debt for banks when they determine your debt -to -income ratio. 2) They also didn't want me to liquidate the cards in the bank as they didn't want large deposits made.

If the clock is already ticking you may be forced into the "ok deal" category or just having to realize your taxable gains. 

@Tim Jonasson Wow I have always avoided land leases, but I didn't realize the holder had so much to gain at the expiration of the lease!

I realize I’m doing it backwards but I’m in the unique position of knowing what the seller needs from me.  

I realized I wanted to get into real estate 3 years ago after I had read Rich Dad Poor Dad on one of my field ops in the marine corps.

I realize that is limited to the FSBO market and you are a Broker so I don't know whether or not that presents a conflict right off the bat.

Thanks, I didn't realize there was online material offered on here as well.
