Anyway a bit about me: I am Zee, a 25 year old IT professional looking to get into REI with the goal of lifestyle design, building an EARLY retirement, and once I have "me and mine" set up, charity.My company (am I allowed to post the name?) 

., what they take home after a straight sale to to a third party (which includes all kinds of RE agent, legal, closing and ancillary costs designed to protect each party) - that's all that matters. 

Ask what R-4 is designated in the city, it is probably 1 to 4 units and you'd be fine.

you might also try to find out if the septic is designed for a second bathroom.

We can also help them with assistance from Hardest Hit funds, or state programs designed to help homeowners.There are risks, the biggest is we pay too much for a home that is not worth what the seller thinks its worth.

I'm a green interior designer / visual artist / landscape contractor. 25+ years people & project management expertise in the commercial and residential new construction, additions and remodels.

Working with a broker who operates a business that is in concert with your goals will enhance your learning and help to guide you in the direction you want to go.Because real estate is a socially oriented business, you can easily build your own team designed around your personal business goals.  

If you want to be designated as a Realtor, then you are looking at spending approximately $1000 per year for all necessary costs.

Our desire is to negotiate with land owner (motivated seller but not distressed) to pay for the land in 2 years time (post design-build-flip).

You want someone who has experience in the immediate hyper local area to be able to define specific design criteria to match th neighborhoods.
