I've been studying real estate for a while now and I was interested in the wholesale part of the business, but as I came to reality I know I need to have a home for my son to grow in.

As I study your example.

One can make a killing during months of October (Formula 1 race in Austin and Austin City Limits music festival) as well as March (South by Southwest).

I will be rescheduling my retake in 2 weeks and buying myself a study guide this time.

As I stated in my OP I have just begun to seriously start studying RE investing so I have not got into how to put a contract together yet, or even how to analyze a property to be sure it is a good deal.

This isn't rocket science, I've done several in 2 and 3 lots, one was 7 with existing structures, a bit more complicated.May I mention, these situations do come up and that studying the basics of RE can make you money in solving these matters.What you're needing is a "Minor-Subdivision" generally these are much easier to approve by a zoning commission as you probably aren't changing the classification or use.You will need to begin with the existing legal description, it will probably be described in "meets and bounds" rather than by the lot and block, guessing it's rural with a barn and critters.Guess it would be rather long to describe the entire process, but to start with, you (at least I)  didn't need a survey.

But studied harder and went back and passed the second time.

I have been linked to those resources and have been studying them.

I'm currently a junior studying finance, and I've been very interested in pursuing a career in the real estate industry for a while now.

Whenever I'm not at my job I spend every waking moment studying and researching about RE.
