The latest window, which required a purchase from 2018-2020, is firmly shut.Today, we are in more of a state of normalcy. 

What are some of the requirements to develop a lot in the floodplain?

They require you to have at least 3 tradelines, which can be credit cards, auto loans, a mortgage, personal loan if recorded.

That way it doesn't appear to the public as something the County is responsible for maintaining.My proposed variance would state, in effect, that if a private road is paved and has a Road Maintenance Agreement in place, an access/utility easement of 60' in width to a public road is required regardless of size or number of parcels.

@Jessie Dillon sometimes your financing will have requirement for this but I would absolutely recommend following every financial planner/advisors advice here - have 3-6 months of reserves saved up at all times.  

I’m looking to speak to agents that have listings anywhere that can meet these following requirements: A class/ B+ neighborhood, no rehabbing necessary or only cosmetic, price no more than $250,000, and landlord friendly states only.

Lower down payment requirements but you have to live in the property for a year, no big deal if you plan on house hacking for FHA.

Assuming the person you have in mind has the capital and credit necessary to purchase the property and meet the lenders requirements, that would get a deal done.

It's a long term game, but it does require being active (especially in the beginning).

Even if you aren't required I would try to do that.
