David,Great thought process and questions.

The process is too messy and too many human factors play a major role.

I would like to know if I can preserve some/all of my liquid capital by avoiding an all cash deal for the lot/land.My thought process is...

The liquid capital I have allocated for acquisition is in the $100k-$130k range. it may not be much but I am looking for properties that need a lot of work and being that i'm in construction this part or the process should be less of an expense for me. 

Keep an open mind and remain adaptable since home hacking is a dynamic process.

If you're effectively filling orders for a legit buyer then wholesaling to them becomes a straightforward matter.As was already mentioned, however, you may be best served not focusing on trying to wholesale and instead buying the land at a steep discount and going straight to the retail market.

This will likely result in an eviction and they may cause more damage on the way out.3) Start the eviction process now for a lease violation. 

So you know, at 10%, your borrower is getting the deal of the century for a loan like this.Before you lend, learn the process.

For all the people out there that are happy about the NAR Settlement, that are happy about "sticking it" to the RE Agent, claiming that RE Agents make too much money, don't provide good service/advice, that they don't have to pay high commissions any more, and that they can fill out "paperwork" and sell a house themselves...are the embodiment of ignorance and inexperience. 

Not many open places to rent - generally, if you have something available, it seems to fill up pretty quick.How do you all handle increases on an ongoing basis?
