I tried to put the pieces together to build a solid team out there but it's really tough unless you have someone local to help you run it or are willing to drive back and forth.

What's some ideas or things I can look into to build my investor list. 

We have a potential buyer of a lot in St Augustine, FL who would like to build a new single family short term rental.

I promise you will have options once you finish renovating.If you purchased correctly (location & purchase price), you will have enough equity so that you can either sell it for tax free capital gains, cash out refinance (if mortgage rates are lower), or pull a HELOC to acquire your next property!

I'm an investor in the Austin, TX area and I'm here to build relationships and work on deals.

First off to be clear when using income for these screening purposes its GROSS income (before taxes).

Which would be to borrow the money to fund 1-3 residential flips, in order to pay back the loan and then have more capital to then actually build on the land starting early spring of next year. 

Connecting with experienced professionals is a great way to learn and build valuable relationships.

So if you can handle the financing for all this until the builder starts buying lots and building , You should do well 

The use of the accelerated depreciation strategy helps real estate investors to reduce the tax liability immediately which therefore increases their bottom line due to the offsetting of income.
