I'm also wondering if anybody knows the costs and rules for bringing in water and power to a piece of land in these areas, I know it's different for each property but is there any possible way to get estimates on bringing in water and power to a piece of land I want to purchase before actually buying the property so I can create a general budget for buikding a home.

Low prices.

The cost of really decking out the house seems like a considerable investment. 

FHA loans can be as low as 3.5% with a one-year occupancy requirement.

Any recommendations for a cost effective lawyer to start the eviction process?

The reason for the 85-90% requisite is because I have to add the price of a vacant lot to the 2nd property's build cost.

When prices are high, more people are forced to rent, which results in increased demand and rising rents.Inventory has been frustratingly low and is not getting betterSales inventory plummeted at the beginning of the year and has remained below one month in Q2. 6 months is considered a balanced buyer/seller market.

I know exactly how much it should cost to hire a contractor, for any type of work on a house.

One deal is just the start, with 1 or 2 properties there will be more highs and lows, but once you acquire a handful or more then things even out.

After 15 years with a traditional brokerage, I now feel foolish for the low commission splits that I  received due to the need for the brokerage pay for all that bricks and mortar- who goes to an office to buy real estate?
