@David Vilfranc,This is where the humans come in.

I'm willing to sacrifice my time, body, friends, and sadly, family as I work to save up for my first purchase.

In my area you dont have to be a GC to buold your personal home.Find a local bank to work with on construction loan (I would suggest you get a account for that bank and donuts always help) Get a list of your area governing body on what is needed to be submitted for approval.

I have a person that mails for me, and a phone service that takes the calls 24/7 - a human answers, not a "pls leave message" type of system.  

Buy and rehab, then sell as soon as humanly possible and repay the loan.

There are no specific "minimum requirements," aside from "don't commit fraud" and a human BS test.

Know/experienced a little (medium-risk) Finally, work on these pieces so you are able and willing to take action.All human endeavors are accomplished with...Definite plans (a clear plan from here to there) + Faith (knowing you can) + Emotion (feeling you can) + Action (taking action) = Achievement of anything

By the time you realized it, you have mastered all trades of real estate.We, as human, tend to take the path of least resistance.

I wouldn't tell the listing agent this if she/he called me as the lender when vetting offers, but it'll come down to a human judgement call on the part of the underwriter, how well I package it and write a good cover letter, etc, and not be one of those "oh slam dunk no brainer of course it will be 100% fine" type things.

It's safe for humans and pets when dry.
