Can somebody just let me know their side so I can just stem off from there, please and thank you!

My question is, is everything on this trip a write off?

Live about 3.5 hrs away. do you know of any virtual companies off hand?

We wanted to build a cabin for us but learned there is nothing and off grid so it has been sitting there for last three years and paying the property tax. 

Thinking about $30k for rehab Yeah I would say need help on exit strategy Thinking I should just flip it and get me a good goose egg to do the next one myself  But I have been looking for 4 months this is first one off market I have found  let me know your thoughts Credit score is above 800Down payment available $3-80008 percent on the loan is great, but if you don't know what you are doing on the rehab portion of the numbers are wrong, you could be creating too tight a window for success here. 

The reason I am selling the Condo is to pay off some personal, and unexpected debts of about $18,000 to decrease my DTI to help me qualify for my Dads VA loan (they want to move to Texas), which is a 3BD 2BA single family home. 

However after all the work thats required which includes landscape, parking lot, fencing lighting and interior/exterior work, it looks like the presumed cost of remodeling it will be double that, although Im not positive (still taking bids).Ive priced a comparable property in our area which has similar square footage and lot size and they seem to be going between $700-800k, and so my question is: based on a higher than expected construction cost which is necessary to finish our project, one which will exceed the amount of money of what a similar property goes for in our neighbrhood, should I continue with this project, or an alternative plan would be to simply beautify it for approximately 100-150k and ditch the plans, and flip it instead for approximately 700-800k now that its zoned commercial.My fear is that if I do invest the moneys to finish the project over the budget I initially priced it for, and the business doesnt take off, I would initially lose money on this investment.Thank you for taking the time reading this.

TIA I look at these things the most when looking for BRRRR cities - Rent-to-Price Ratio: Look for cities where the average rent is high compared to the average mortgage cost- Population and Job Growth: Focus on cities experiencing steady population and job growth, higher than national average- Availability of Distressed Properties: Look for cities with a supply of pre-foreclosures, short sales, and abandoned propertiesNormally bigger cities in those states should do well, houses are still somewhat affordable (comparatively) and if you do a big rehab it'll pay off

On these pages you'll see people post off market deals, RE meetup information, people seeking recommendations etc. 

If it sounds funny or off, ask.
