I had a similr issue a few years ago with a property in Cleveland where my property manager hit the same roadblock.

Two things I remember that probably don't happen today: -First property was a no-doc loan, technically low doc because you still had to provide information but with 30%+ down pretty much anything you wanted was yours.

Technically, you can't buy a (mortgage) loan interest rate below the federal funds rate right ? 

The issue with section 179 expense is that you normally have to operate at positive income.Under most circumstances, bonus depreciation is better since you can take bonus depreciation even if you operate at negative income. 

Where do Sophisticated (and what is that technical definition?)

Technically, Sub-To is legal, but the way some "gurus" teach it, I have problems with it.

Small (1700 sqft or less) medium (1701 -1999 sqft) and large (2000 sqft or more)Cost benefit analysis Estimates IF 300+ homes are built over 10 yearsAlot of technical information to say that:- When I start development, i will be going into uncharted territory. - New construction will be comped against other new construction - Start out with enough comps to justify the price point- keep the area tight to consolidate the risk vs building one or two in different parts of the same neighborhood. 

@Jordan Kaylor Using a HELOC to purchase a property and then refinancing into a conventional mortgage is technically considered a cash-out refinance.

Renting out technically may not be legal for this property. 

With the profit from the first deal I would pay for the initial investment technically.
