Any seasoned GA LLs out there who might be able to shed light?   

The bank will hassle your family member and ask for various documents.Another approach is to let the money season in your account.

This time of year is harder to sell than in the buying season. 

It's much more seasonal than the rest of the state.You might want to re-think the timing of your deal.  

Should I wait for the storm and get tenants for seasonal renting (3+ months) or should I just get some long-term renters now?

(reason being, the rental season is summer, so if I buy in the dead season he is willing to sell for less since no rental income is coming in).   

I sincerely welcome all feedback form the BP community from novice to well seasoned investors. 

@Varinder Kumar Its a busy time now during extension season but you might want to check out some of the BP pros who work remotely in all states. 

I do know that USDA has a construction to perm loan though but good luck finding a lender for that.You can do what I did, pay cash for the lot - let it season (at least 6 months for most lenders, some may require a year).

When it comes to the Refinance portion of BRRRR, I understand that most banks nowadays have a 6-month seasoning period.
