This delay is costing me money every day as my property remains vacant.Additionally, their application process is extremely tedious and discouraging for prospective tenants.

AI machines can extract resources such as minerals and food and distribute them at no cost. 

You own the lot worth $325K outright and have a construction lender for up to 70% of the build costs but need an additional $250k for the remainder of the construction costs?

I would like to know what all qualifies as completely clean here- Electrical wiring is normal and no unlicensed modifications - Structural inspection is also clean.Seller is ready to discount the price by ~20% from market plus the cost to repaint the whole house What are other questions to ask and things to consider in this scenario?

Developing a team across state lines, cheaper contractors are not always best, they cost us time and money because they weren't the right people.

So if a property was offered at $500k, John might offer 2 parcels assessed value of $70k (cost him no more than $1k) and a seller financed note of $380k.  

Something to consider is with $30K (which is no small amount of money), you will need to factor in closing costs and repairs (unless you can negotiate with the Sellers). 

This can save you from costly mistakes.

The biggest drawback I am having is calculating cost for repairs & finding a reputable contractor for a fair price - I know nothing about renovations right now.  

Would talk to contractors and get a sense of renovation costs and ARVs.
