I want to keep away from any short cuts , I am not looking to take large cuts from sellers (I’m a true agent at heart and looking to serve my clients) .

They are just going to use their 2nd VA loan to buy their next one while this one is tied up. 

For example, one exemption is tied to your total revenue which is $5M in gross sales or receipts in a calendar year. 

If they won't let you build on it, explore doing a lot tie agreement so that you can combine the parcels and when you go to resell it, you can ask for a higher price point based on the large lot.

Its not usually cut and dry so more of the story would help.

Quote from @Christian Pichardo: Quote from @Caleb Brown: Should you cut your losses and move on?

There are risks as you are tying up your primary residence in the project.

I tried to work with my tenant but they cut off all communication with me and wont respond to anyone.

- Do you think it’s worth challenging the appraisal with Kiavi, or should I just cut my losses and move on?

When you sell, Uncle Sam wants his cut.
