You’ll have to search for a bank that will let you re if on an investment property. 

In searching for land, I discovered that nearby new construction projects were purchased as "shovel ready, ready to issue."

Hey Guys,Have an interesting situation, tried searching the fourms and using google to find precidence but came up with nothing.  

You will go positive at $110,000....but barely...get the number down to $95-100k and then you've got a property....As you mentioned you're searching the MLS...many of the good deals there get picked over really fast...especially when the market it hot like it is now.

I searched a bit but couldn't find some answers.

I´m sure you can google search for a company in your area. 

I would recommend doing some searches for "wholesale" in the BP forms and I know there have been some good podcasts with wholesalers from entry level up to multi-million dollar business owners.

You can do a simple web search to find brokerage firms that will hang your license for a flat fee verse a % of every sale/purchase but you won't get much assistance from them and I am not sure exactly how "legal" all that is.Other things to consider, 1) there is a fee to have access to and be able to list on the MLS, 2) I think the state requires you to carry or it would be a very good idea to carry Errors and Omissions insurance commonly called E&O insurance 3) if you plan to tour properties, you will need to get those electronic keys that agents have and I am guessing there is an annual fee associated with that.Those are the big ones I can think of off the top of my head.

I know for a fact there are many out of town investors who are interested in your area... search biggerpockets for the term #birddogging   Learn what you can and focus on your favorite niche!
