What about buying already built, operating assets?  

Would love to get this started yesterday  Ok 1st question, WHY IN THE WORLD would you buy in SH? 

This means that you will probably need to pay registration and filing fees in at least 2 states if you don’t buy CA property as a CA resident.Be sure to tell your accountant that you may now need to file non-resident income tax returns in each state where you own property as well.

In OH, you need to qualify with the particular county to buy, and most need a minimum purchase amount to buy in bulk. 

Sharing the concern about freezing it is fine; its all about building a relationship, getting buy in vs. rules.

However city is imposing a good amount ofimpact fees based on the bedroom count - which accounts to close to $40 k , which i cannot afford- Ibought the house for myself to reside and cannot afford to pay this.We verified with city prior to buying and theyconfirmed it is residential zoned , however never mentioned about any impactfees.It is residential zone - MLS shows it as 3 bedroom 2baths - it had a extra unit  in the back and also a inbuilt rolling bed on 1st floor for the main I am stuck here- they are asking to prove it was usedas a residential -ever - any guidance would be appreciated on this.

Buy, clean, add small lipstick, turn and sell.

@Dulce DavisSome private firms would consider blankets but they are gonna cost 2x traditional financingI would take the one with no mortgage and leverage that to buy another and keep doing that - also once in a while may consider selling some inventory to get more cash

You should consider learning about house hacking, BRRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, and Repeat) and group home investing, I feel.

I'm also looking heavily into Laporte, I feel buy and holds in Duneland and rehabs in Laporte are my focus right now.
