HI, pretty curious about what the Fayetteville officials are like in regards to this process? Anyone have experience with this process and any advice? Even things on how to investigate the local process would be welco...

@Verna Littleton @Wendy Thurst we rep for NREIG and can share that they will not be able to insure the building if it is owner occupied.If you are living in the property as your primary home, you would get a standard Homeowners policy. 

How many calls do you think they get for someone who is going to "buy 10 houses this year and wants to build a team?"

Maybe a more cunning way to move forward would be to own a motel, maybe with a very experienced motel business partner.Or maybe a Pool Hall, or an LP in a new waterpark, or something like that.I've seen hard times crush men, and I've seen hard times make men refused to be crushed and come back X a ton.It's all in the mind and the will to keep fighting.Many in here have given possible ways forward.It would seem wise to focus on building up a pile of cash again.Talk to your tax consultant about the specifics of your situation too.....Good Luck!

So build in a buffer. 

Then one day my father-in-law said “Why not build?”

You need to build a great team of people. 

Great place to buy because of Intel plant $20 billion; Google building 3 data centers; Amazon & Meta buying hundred acres of land!

My name is Hogan Chouinard and I am new to real estate investing, I have been wanting to get involved with real estate for a while because I want to give myself financial freedom in the future by putting in the extra work right now, I want to start a real estate portfolio that I can continue to build on over time for years to come, and I am hoping that I can meet some people on bigger pockets that can help me along the way!

What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?
