The same tenant has already had a mysterious issue with a ceiling fan I had to replace.

It’ll be easy to stick to the Orlando area and Tampa is a bit of a mystery to me but so was Orlando not too long ago. 

If you do not understand that simple concept, "finding motivated sellers" will always be a mystery to you.

First due to me not trusting my gut and using the washing machine after it mysteriously filled itself with water overnight, and the second time a year later due to a polybutylene pipe bursting, which would have been an easy fix had I known that this was something to look out for a while the ceiling from the first water incident was open.

What was the discussion you had with lender when project budget mysteriously doubled?

So its a phased release.With asset based lending, lender always secures a lien on the property until they get paid off... so if your intent is to flee, its not clear what you'd be fleeing from if seller got paid for property and your rehab budget is withheld in escrow and released as you complete repairs.Lender's primary risk is that if buyer mysteriously disappears, they don't really want to play rehabber by stepping in to complete the project and if they have to sell the property, they have to be able to get whatever they paid seller at a minimum.

Worth noting, Tesla filed for another mystery project last year dubbed "Project Bobcat" last year though details have not emerged on that filing.  

@Jim Halpert Jim you can go a long way to remove the mystery of site use and zoning by visiting with the planning department to hear what they’ve got to say.Their opinions will drive what can and can’t happen on your site.

It's not a mystery and you shouldn't accept an incomplete and non specific answer. 

More construction tied to Elon Musk planned south of Tesla's Austin-area factoryNew public filings indicate $11M warehouse may rise just across Colorado RiverImportant to note this is a separate project from the Gigafactory, the recently announced 'Project Cathode" which aims to produce batteries, and the mysterious 'Project Bobcat' which has not released additional details since filing last year.
