For the "in service" requirement, it looks more robust if you actually have a few completed bookings that you were paid for before the end of the year. 

I try to put the grease on the poop when the owner is near by so when they ask what I am doing I can explain that I am training dogs to pick up after themselves. 

@Nova Dear I would look into Shelter like @Joseph Konney mentions - Shelter insurance has phenomenal service, definitely one of the better carriers I've worked with.

@Rob Ibarra Converting non restaurant space into restaurant space can be fairly costly from what I understand due to the need for larger than standard water lines to service the building and a general need for grease traps and other restaurant specific infrastructure.My first question around going from abandoned auto shop to kitchen is zoning, could you even get the use approved, and then are their any environmental factors in play? 

Does anyone know if they release the house after they finish selling or building the remaining homes? 

In my experience, I have always been able to get my fixer listings better sale prices when posted in the MLS.

Home equity loans may not be obtained on land that is taxed as “open space” or as agricultural land.The loan may not close until twelve (12) days after the borrower has applied for the loan and has received a formal notice of the borrower’s legal rights.Not less than one day before the closing, the borrower must be given a final itemized disclosure of the actual charges associated with the loan, including actual points, fees, costs and interest.

@Chris Martin Happy to connect you with my contact at Velur to learn more but they identify parcels adjacent to existing solar development (or residential, warehousing... different zoning options for diversification) and do the analysis on value, easements, zoning viability for development etc...they take their cut up front in the sale then when you get an offer for purchase down the road they help review the offer as well.

No system is perfect, so don't waste time chasing after the next shiny object.
