You would think there so much land in Las Vegas, since it's a desert, that until you research, most of land is in federal government ownership.

If you would like more professional assistance, feel free to reach out to me directly.To answer your question: When buying a home you need to have a downpayment of at least 3.5% (Government FHA loan) or 5% (conventional loan).

I found out that you can only use 50% of your money, that you can only have 1 withdrawal at a time, and more...Long story short, I closed the account, paid the government the money due them and used the balance of the money to purchase two more rentals.  

The benefit of all cash is that no one (except for the government, by eminent domain) can take your property from you.

Others may not care, but I would (if the state found credible evidence that I was violating licensing laws and I was investigated and given a cease and desist or worse).

If you have no past new construction projects to add to your credibility documentation,,,, unless you have a partner that can demonstrate this,,, you will run into significant bank financing road blockd...  

There are organizations that have this niche, Habitat For Humanity for example but they can't use government funding and others move in where they leave off.

@Dawn Anastasi perhaps could clarify what is usual and customary in Wisconsin.Here is a government website I found on-line that seems to provide clear and practical information about the tenant and landlord relationship and law in Wisconsin.

Government agency called the Federal Housing Administration. 

With no experience in government, Ben Carson is a bit of an unknown.
