Getting the house in your name is the easy part.

However, it is easy to take the apparently abundant resource of water for granted, and most of us never stop to question whether or not our needs will ever outgrow our supply.

Not an easy feat.I hope those threads help.Best to you,Brian

Easy to put in, and so much cheaper.

Look at ads for rent, call them, pretty easy finding investors.

Yes this is nothing new to the big boys & girls out there, but new to me as I have only purchase new completed places.This is the current bus. model that worked on my building1-build/buy new & hold(unique duplex like SFR - thus hi quality tenants)2-cash flow-not great but good3-exit by selling as condos (30% higher value than the whole duplex structure)These are the rough number on one current duplex:-150K 0.4 acres land purchase for ONE duplex (an average - extremely hard to find)-300K Build and contractors fee-20K City utilities (can save here w/ tear down-Utililitie in place & easy to permit)-Appraised at 470KWith these numbers there is no deal/money to be made upfront unless the appraisal rises or the land price drops.

I've saved enough $ such that living off the rental income would be easy (once invested), and in the meantime, I don't spend much $ so this wouldn't effect my finances much.Essentially I was wondering how this might affect my ability to get a loan?

Dang, so no one had a nice easy solution?

If the numbers are right that could be a great flip or an easy wholesale.Regarding finding contractors - as others have said referrals are your best bet.

Partnerships are like a marriage: easy to say "I do" but much more complicated if and when you decide "I don't".
