Sometimes I think, well maybe that newby is an expert at draining swamps....or they have a helicopter to reach the landlocked property and want to practice aerial concrete and building material transport.There was a guy on here the other day, challenging me that he could not possibly go look at all the "deals" he was going to buy in Florida for 10c on the $1. 

You are still going to get the best rate possible with your significant down payment and with good credit I'm assuming.   

One thing you may want to consider is the possibility of hacking into a small multi like a duplex.

If it isn't possible, I'm curious why some still create a brand/business based account - such as the example I've provided?

We draft the jobs ourselves, GC the jobs ourselves, avoid financing whenever possible, and I handle the listing as a licensed real estate agent, so we're collecting all the profit that can possibly be had on each job (aside from the fact that we try to not self-perform too much and mostly sub out the work).

Starting to look at possibly investing there.Great, but also expensive and competitive.

I find it hard to believe there won't be access to some kind of REI meet up somewhere around most anyone these days.I would suggest going to as many REI meet ups as possible.

Possible (but I doubt easy) if seller takes a 2nd / subordinate position to the bank or is secured by other property you own.

Would it be possible to connect to discuss more about the process of purchasing property as a military investor? 

Yes, they will do many things better than you, but some things it's not possible for them to be as attentive and quick responding as you.Also, no one's perfect, so keep tabs on them in general.Regarding holding or selling: why did you buy this in the first place?
