Of the few that were still willing to play along, the proposal I mentioned was the most fleshed out with architectural drawings, zoning approvals, and lots of pre-development planning in place.

I've been at the rental game for 15 or more years. 

What is your game plan to get started?

I have been bit by the failed septic before.With many offers, banks don't want the play where someone locks the house in with a high offer, has it inspected and then asks for $20,000 off the price.

There are plenty of great buyers agents on here, but it's also on the investor to play a role and understand the market.

I have a few questions as I am new to the game but I have a basic understanding through this great site and finishing the Ultimate Beginners Guide to Real Estate Investing and I wanted some feedback on my strategy if that is ok.

I found Bigger Pockets and knew I had to up my game. 

Definitely want to play the long game, I just really like the idea of getting started using this method as I don’t have a large amount of cash on hand 

This might be an appreciation play.

This would provide more cash flow and mortgage support (usually)Your first time home buyer credit should cover most of your FHA requirements even on a 4 unit.Or maybe just buy bitcoin and wait six months so you have more money to play with
