Personally, though, I would prefer not to have potential leads learning that I will not pay all cash or close quickly despite having it in my marketing materials.

The only way to make them have any sort of legal protection is to have at least one other member who has a material ownership in the LLC.

Granted, these are very rough estimates, material cost and labor varies significantly based on your market.A new roof should run you anywhere from $9,000-$15,000 depending on the size and material you choose.

With current construction prices, material shortages and the general lack of availability of builders in our local area, I am now considering selling the land which has also appreciated significantly in value. 

ONCE YOU START--YOU CAN'T STOPEnded up being 100k (covid material shortages and delays geeeze)Absolutely beautiful!!!

Lastly there are websites where you can also find specific tools and vetting materials geared toward helping passive investors invest in syndication deals that can be used as an adjunct to the aforementioned options and resources. 

Costs of materials and labor are likely to not get less expensive either so the cost to update today vs tomorrow could very well be lower.

There are a lot of composite materials that look like granite, you can probably find leftover pieces for not a lot of money.

Parking, hunting, fishing, storage, farming, Xmas trees, farm stand, construction material/vehicle storage, beach parking/shuttle to beach, haunted hay rides/mazes, "tiny" houses on trailers, flea market...

You can often find lots of building materials for cheap.With the old '70's cooktops, we have left them in place until they fail.
