You get loan from someone else and then they sell it to fannie or freddie and you have no control over that.

I somehow suspect that once I have achieved success on that scale- that I will wish to continue to grow my portfolio... but i doubt it.I wish to make just enough money so that I can be in control of my time.

Remember you don't have to own a property to control it.

You have control over that, make it easy for them to expand, lower rents in a start up period and perhaps devise rents from gross receipts so the business owner has much less risk in expanding.The other way is build the business to go in there.

Appreciation is nice but it's not something we have any control over as we all saw in 2008.

Check out the forms and controls and overnight you will be up the leaning curve.

The only way to know is to talk to the planning and zoning commission that controls the area.I don't have direct experience, but do have an investment in a development project that has spent years and serious money developing plans and working to get city approval.

Better know who controls the water, corps of engineers, utility owned, state dept, and easement restrictions.Sounds like a HOA with home lots not a condo of attached units, so it's not a condo if your house is the only one standing.There is a process to un-incorporate the HOA and plat.Hard to follow your :-: short cuts, can you get to a keyboard?

Remember you don't have to own a property to control it.

Grandma always said "Those educated often control the greatest assets of all, time & money".
