If they don't fund it on the initial pass, they may suggest a Phase I and eventually a Phase II, but without the initial survey, they will not do the loan. 

Nice job, certainly not what I would suggest, but I’m glad that worked out for you. 

I would also suggest attending local meetups and REIA meetings as these are a great way to connect with like-minded individuals. 

@Matthew Sloan for flipping I suggest a basic series LLC.

I wouldn't suggest making any moves right now.

So I'm looking for suggestions on how to deal with a hoarder tenant.

I was hoping for a few suggestions to start looking for condos or townhouses in those areas.  

Let me know if you have any further questions.1) I would suggest shopping around for a brokerage before signing an agreement with any of them.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I suggest finding the right people and putting together a long term plan of attack.There isn’t one magical property, or investment that will not have its ups or downs.Safety comes in numbers and every property you buy needs to get you a step closer to achieving your end goal.Focus on the fundamentals of the deals and the numbers within themUnder estimate your income and over estimate your expenses Forget about capital appreciationThanks for your attention and I"m looking forward to hearing your thoughtsYour favorite AussieEngelo
