If you're set on building on this land, it seems you may want to get pricing figured out in a more for sure approach (as you can, I realize material pricing right now is not 'normal') to get an idea of how much you really can afford to build.

Hard money lender....easy but not as easy as people lead you to believe, I tried a normal lender but being self employed they weren't interested in lending to me even though I already owned over $1.2 mil in property in Hawaii with a 740 credit score.

And normally how much does it cost? 

Normally the mortgage lender sends their own appraiser, who has other methods to fall back on when there are no comps. 

It is a few bucks, I would mention that normally it would have been July 1, so you'd already deferred it for 2 months due to the renos. 

Adding millage typically needs to be passed by voters, but unless this is in an area with legislatively set value increases, county governments can normally get more aggressive on assessed values to help boost their coffers.

Thanks for weighing in, always appreciatedAS long as they are not creating infestations and Mold and are just normal tenants. you know mattress on the floor  cloths heaped in a pile in the corner  one couch one big screen and maybe a table to eat on.. but no bugs or mold then thats the main issue I think 

Even with a VA loan you are mostly gambling on appreciation with low cap cashflow.

I know this does not replace my Architect and design team BUT it does provide a huge variety and potential ideas to projects that would normally only get one rendering.

@Eduardo CondeIf you plan to house hack the “normal” way, then no you cannot close or have title in a LLC.
