If you negotiated a cheaper cash price you are engaging in fraud!

@Kyle Clabby Print your Credit Profile or Credit Karma summary report and show it to the Seller alongside a strong letter of recommendation by someone in a position of authority who knows you and can vouch for you. 

I don't rent to people engaged in questionable activities, tax evasion or people who have revoked licenses (if they drive up to the property).

How much earlier do you thing a SEC competent lawyer should be engaged to create the offering documents and required filing documentation?

Maybe ask the agent to do a social media campaign along side the price drop? 

Steps to engage builder/developer for estimatesHow/where to get loan?

I would be very cautious about this and do a serious readability study to see what the best use is and whether you can attract any tenants.You could engage a commercial real estate broker to do a feasibility study and analysis for you or you could do it yourself.Basically you look for what’s missing in the area around the property then go find those businesses and ask them if they would be interested in leasing a space in that location.

I’m in a small, tight-knit community where residents are interested in local real estate investing but lack the time/energy/youth to actively engage. 

Sharing such a big project and working alongside a seasoned flipper would be worth its weight in gold.    

He is a custom builder, so I am thinking he may be able to build me a cabin alongside his daughter's cabin for a much less expensive price.
