A letter from you highlighting the positive features of the new home you find attractive (bigger yard for my dog, another bathroom for my teenager, etc), paired with evidence that you did in fact historically owner occupy for a year (old utility bills, old mortgage statements, old paystubs, etc, addressed to your then-current residence work), would make it pretty rock solid, but this is still ultimately an underwriter judgement call.Because preapprovals are not property specific, they can never incorporate this, so it's on you to set yourself up for success on this front.

Awesome, thanks so much Account Closed, you rock!

And I feel certain the costs would actually be higher, for several reasons, including the fact that our local construction contractors will only provide a base price for their work, which they then 'adjust' "if" they encounter things like clay, rock or water.

@Emily Powell - you rock thanks

Looking for suggestions and prices on landlord insurance for a triplex in Little Rock.

BP ROCKS! 

Sounds like with your experience the development won't be foreign to you, but you'll need a rock solid plan for infilling the park with homes and getting owners into those homes. 

I bet it feels like a big rock was moved off your shoulders already.

@Kim Rock I heard this before but I don't understand why they don't want to lend to LLCs - I was thinking I would buy the property without an LLC and then later incorporate into one but I'm not sure if they would cause issues between the bank.

In my area, our off-season is January 2 - March 14, so I appeal to former guests with a significant discount, and I have compiled a list of activities that are still open during that time, for example, cave tours, zip lining, hiking, and indoor rock climbing wall, to name a few.
