If you ever need helping moving inventory feel free to reach out to me.

I am looking to purchase in the $2 million range and expect to hire a property manager for the property.  

Looking through the Texas listings, these are new listing and not old inventory. 

I own several rental properties and now looking to increase inventory so I can fire my boss at my  current day job and go full time with REI.

Have you tried looking through local wholesaler inventory or homepath.com?

We are currently in the position that we would like to buy land (2-5 acres) and build around the $350-$400k range.

My job is likely in the $20k range and would include significant kitchen and exterior work.Thanks!

I will definitely look for a mortgage broker that can give me further guidance on NHF's program.We will probably be seeking an FHA loan to put down below the 20% = probably 10% is all we'll be able to afford (assuming 200-300K price range for the property) in order to keep some form of maintenance / repair slush funds available to get started with so we shall see I suppose.  

There may also be some good inventory hiding in older areas of Fort Myers (Between McGregor and US41) and its not uncommon for some single family homes in that area to have income producing apartments or guest houses.Remember, as you are a finance buyer, you have a bit less leverage with sellers than cash buyers do, so you'll want your offers to be relatively strong in other areas (if you are asking for concessions you are likely not to get an accepted offer on an income producer).

Depending on your price range there may be very little commission per transaction and from an agent's perspective the time spent looking at properties may not be worth the return.
