It might take at least two years before we can make a substantial down payment on a second home.

Keep crushing it, and feel free to reach out if you have questions—excited to see where your journey takes you.

Speak with your builder about how much it takes you build a home. 

I would say, "Deals like this go fine all the time... until they don't!"

Looking for free or cheap paperwork online is not the route to take.

If you do not reinvest all the proceeds, any excess amount not reinvested is immediately taxable.

Since you'll be owner-occupying, take advantage of low down payment loans like FHA (3.5%), Conventional (5%), VA (0%), or a 203k loan for renovations.

I like DealMachine because you can literally drive or walk for dollars on the app in real time and all contacts are skiptraced with pro.But, you also want to make clear why you want to find off-market deals.

Would you take on a rehab to get a better deal?

This is a great place to connect with people so take advantage of all the great resources.
