If none of this bears fruit and you don't care to spend $60,000 you can get a septic system put in for around $6500.

It was originally the plan to buy it from me when he could swing it, I just wanted to walk away from the closing table with $10,000.

A little incentivization is fine, but the market will take care of a need if it is real.Example - look at one of the largest building costs - the Permits and Fees of over $5 mil. $5 million?

I'm planning on bidding on a few properties at the Fulton County sale on March 7.

Planning to be living together in CLT for at the least 2+ years, after this- up in the air on staying or moving. 

What's the long-term plan? 

Be real careful in this area.

With careful research and property selection, it's possible to find properties with good cash flow potential.

Should I create an LLC at this point to protect my personal assets and tax planning?

Yea it’s true you need an excuse but the right lender will take care of that for you so you’ll need to start having conversations with lenders and if they say you can’t do it move on from then.
