Glad you got it sorted out.

Less than 2 months ago, I passed a hair follicle test, I'm told is accurate to 3 years back.

I am seeking any constructive advice or criticism, as well as recommendations on the best places to purchase these sort of properties.

I am really careful with not getting credit cards but I know I need to get a loan of some sort to get this project going.

I guess my point is unless you already have a bunch of people ready to loan you money, finding someone who is going to be a Cash Partner, Equity Partner, Private Money Lenders is going to require a some sort of track record.  

It's the sort of thing a clerk will blindly tell you without looking at the file.

This sort of due diligence is what keeps most people out of tax lien investing.

That said, since we are here, let's sort out some of this better for your understanding.  

., I just want some sort of response. 

I'd imagine there's some sort of hardship clause in there somewhere too, as long as your intent was to keep it when you pulled the permits.
