We continue to have low vacany rates all over the city and rent prices continue to steadily rise year over year.

I want to ensure my taxes are solid, since I would like to be able to qualify for a traditional mortgage next year rather than continuing to work with hard money lenders due to the rather high interest rates I deal with(I still make it work, but of course more profit to be made with a conventional mortgage).Thank you!

Rates are higher right now but the old adage is "Marry the property but date the rate".

It's sadly an extremely common tactic to offset flooring costs. 7-year costs, blacklight, no pro-rating, gimme a break.

I’m in swfl and looking to invest in real estate straight out of high school, I’m creating a LLC to sign documents legally.

Please keep in mind when you do identify a lender that will take on vacant land- they will price the deal at a higher interest rate and will keep a low LTV to minimize their risk. 

My guess is that a lot of these sellers will either exit their current loan or be open to subto as soon as the rates ease up. 

Considering the high interest rate, the projects and COC return seems too good to be true.

Here is what is good: in Colorado they pay 9 points above the current US Federal Discount Rate (which is 5.5% right now) - so that would be an interest rate of 14%+.
