However, you may be charged for a title search, but it does not bind you to doing business with them or that lender.When you buy bread, if you don't like what is being offered at one store, you can put the loaf back on the shelf and go to another store.  

it doesn't cost a lot to put utilities and parking pads in or even entitle it or to purchase land. it's just a lot of work that no one wants to do. parks are hard to get approved but they are not expensive to develop. it's nothing but utilities and parking pads and an office. harder to finance too, but compared to apartment development or mixed use development it is one of the cheapest and highest performing assets because of reduced construction costs. 

While being a full time college student and a part time boxer I've primarily focused on wholesaling, building a successful business with my best friend that did around $70,000 our first year in the business.Being from Illinois rules and regulations have caused us to pivot from the traditional assignment of contract.
