If zoning is a challenge, it could still be a really attractive mid-term rental and there's some other creative things we could do to make it as attractive as possible to the investor population here.

Planned on setting up later when Im busier and direct website makes sense. 

But makes you wonder. 

I also, for the record made the same offer to @Jay Hinrichs, but he can't make it this year.You guys are the top two forum posters of all time here on BiggerPockets, and we are grateful for you all you do! 

The truth is that real estate doesn't pay you well when you need the money.

This is a lot of info for the money in my opinion.)However, there are still a lot of folks I can't find and I am thinking about using a skip tracing service.

My question is would i be able to be an owner as well if I did not put any money down.

Try starting with the lender who gave you the original 2nd loan, that’s how i started and then started making calls.

I have heard the key to making the money is in the price of the land.

If you want to start before the house is finished, consider a bridge loan for short-term financing or explore hard money lenders for quicker access to capital.
