The power of the BRRR method combined with using a HELOC should be great.

@Jamie Powers About 60% of the time, my tenants are "normal" cleanliness and make an attempt to clean themselves prior to handing over the keys. 

I just put that power in his hands Who can get accepted, yes I have veto power.I have done a cosigner it worked ok, the cosigner must have deep pockets!

I am currently in your boat looking for a contractor that’s familiar with 203k disbursements.

Hey Bruce, I'm in the same boat of working on getting my first deal in Traverse, but I've got some agents that are investors themselves who may be able to help that I can refer you to.

The land was inherited by the kids of the lady who passed away and nothing is built there or has been, but it does have power and water to the lot. 

I see the value, and SEO is the most powerful tool and easily the most cost effective.

So even if your lease says you can charge the tenants for the remainder of the term as well as a lease break fee( which the lease should say on both) you still have to do everything in your power to find a tenant right away.  

Solar flares taking down the power grid?

Poof, done, game over.If you come up with that ^@)}▀╝kδà▀ yellow letter, or amateur yellow post card and your competitor does the same and they have a powerful credible website to back them up when the seller does research on you, And they WILL do research on you... with a video, with 1000 and 1 raving testimonials, with before and after pictures of the houses they have flipped... and you are nowhere to be found.. you REALLLLLY think ANYONE will pick you?!
