As a first-time homebuyer with a long-term plan of real estate development, I was wondering if anyone had any ideas on how I could obtain a USDA guaranteed rural development loan even though the current property does not have a home on it.

-Pay high interest debt like your hair is on fire-Have at least six month emergency funds to support everything.

Hi @Tony KuI get a few REO's in my inbox every week and most of the time, they're in areas I personally wouldn't invest in (not near centers of economic development/growth, etc)."

I'm a software developer here in Chicago, and my wife (@etesla) is a stay-at-home-mom.

I'd like to figure out how we might develop these. 

I'm  in my early 30s, and an experienced software developer currently looking for passive income opportunities, but I would like to eventually move into real estate investment full time when I get into my forties. 

I am not a fan, but that may change as I develop, or move into different neighborhoods/markets.

These guys do an awesome job and have done almost all the renovations at my personal home.Maybe I am naive, but most will not get those sub-contractor cost or discounts on material purchases unless they develop a relationship with one of those subs and that is not going to happen on a deal or 2.  

1.when selling a 10-year old unit in a common interest development such as condominiums,stock cooperatives, or planned developments,which form must be used?

Many new developments and USC Expansion and rejuvenation of a suppressed area are currently underway.
