HOA has a Reserve Study outlining $400,000 in outstanding work that needs to be done between the two buildings and property.

Both of these may impact your DTI.One of the difficulties in holding properties for a long time is that equity builds up (either naturally or by forcing with renovation), and I need to sell or refinance to get the equity. 

Throughout this process no matter who they are or what there issue is,  stay in touch with the seller which keeps everyone eye to eye and builds trust.

Start with the people that already know, like, and trust you and then expand from there by building new relationships and nurturing them.What does this even mean?

I'm starting to build out my team, so any connections/recommendations for PMs, agents, etc. would be awesome. 

Quote from @Austin Prewett: The land comes with the house, so you're looking at the value of the entire property.The only reason to consider the land separately is if you plan to tear down and build on the land, but even then you are considering what the final value will be with a home built on it.

I'm looking to build on .44 acres in Wilmington NC.

@Bryson Williams look up the rules for your state, in Virginia, if you own the property you can pull your own building permits and do your own work, this includes the mechanicals .

Get rid of debt, build a budget, and save.

I needed all of them  RE license to sell RE  Mortgage to do private loans in the states that require it.. and contractors to build the homes I am building and then on top of that I have a developers license in Oregon ( no test required just a money grab And when I was figuring out what I wanted to do I got my pilots license around 20 too.. as I really wanted to be an airline pilot.. but alas in those days it was very hard to get hired not like today.
