I am looking for a stand-alone single floor/high ceiling 30k to 40k sqft building on 2.5 to 3 acres of land or 2.5 to 3 acres of land to purchase and build the structure I need.This would be for an event venue.

Yes as you suggested it does sound like hard money would be the best route to go if you are by yourself and don’t have the two years worth of “income” to support a traditional mortgage.

I would suggest talking to a lawyer in regards to the entity question because they'd be able to tailor what best suits your needs given your situation. 

I'd suggest starting by consulting with a local builder or developer who has experience in this type of project.

Wherever you stand looking at your property, in a room our outside, point your finger in any direction, everything has a price tag on it.

I'd suggest you check that out to network and learn as much you can. 

Gurus,Any suggestion on how much would it cost to construct a 30 unit salon suite in a 5000 sqft area?

What changes would you suggest in terms of increasing landlord participation?

   Save your self the headache, call three contractors, don’t offer any suggestions, let them give you their opinion.

Hospitable has a ton of automation features that is helpful and that would be my suggestion for that size portfolio.
