I'll be speaking to FHA/Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac types of loans.In these worlds, homes fall into 3 categories - primary homes, secondary homes, and investment properties.A primary home is one that you intend to occupy.  

And why in the world would someone wait for two months before filing paperwork?

I'm open to both at this point and it's more of a question of what's available and what the numbers look like.If it's a SFH I'm open to house hacking, but in a perfect world I'd get a multifamily.

Once in the daytime, and once after dark (9:30 pm-ish).You could probably accomplish both drives (on every street in the zip code) in a couple of hours each, and still have time to hit the zoo and see some incredible animals, and Cedar Point is not too far way either (it's the Roller Coaster capital of the world).

Great to see when thing work out despite the obstacles that present themselves in the investor world.

Keep in mind that some of the richest people in this world became rich because they knew how to leverage debt.  

There are BP members all across the country and around the world.

I am a creative person but being new to this world I can't seem to think of how to make this work.Heres a little background on the deal I had to pass up:Purchase Price: 349,900Down Payment: 25% ($87,475)Monthly Rent:‬ $3600 (pre expenses)After expenses were all paid, I would have been cash flowing around $900 per month.

So, in the name of full transparency, I am a complete novice to real estate development and have learned a massive amount about starting a business, real estate in general and a whole lot more about how cities/counties and government works in the world of zoning and planning.Over the last two years, I've gained some significant traction with several jurisdictions in terms of a tiny house community development and the triumphant return of the "missing middle".

@David Li, I am also new to the real estate world and looking to network with other real estate professionals as well.
