Here's an example:50% of the total price due at the time of booking.If they cancel 30 days prior, I refund the entire amount.If they cancel 15-29 days prior, they lose half of their reserve payment.The total price of booking is required 14 days prior to check-in.If they cancel within 14 days of check-in, the forfeit all funds collected.If I am able to rebook at any time during this process, then I refund their money, minus a processing fee.If they booked six days and I can only book three days, I will refund three days of their money. 

Property B- I can get a cheaper parcel right at 2800 an acre that's also essentially a rectangle BUT would require us to put in at least a dirt road as the road frontage  is on the narrowest property line.

In my area you are required to pay for the properties immediately following the auction.

Cities around here are slow to implement the new "modern city" changes you see in other places, like allowing ADUs and eliminating parking requirements. 

While finding seller financing deals may require some extra effort, there are indeed multiple ways to find such opportunities.

Here's a brief overview of the key steps, legal requirements, and factors that can impact the timeline.Steps involved in an evictionThere are usually several steps involved in the process of evicting a tenant, beginning with issuing a notice to the tenant to vacate the property, followed by filing a lawsuit, and culminating with the physical removal of the tenant and their belongings from the premises.Legal requirements and timelines for each stepEach step is governed by specific legal requirements and timelines.

I also can’t use a FHA or any loan that requires me to stay in the unit for a year. 

Here are some considerations:Higher Initial Investment: Multi-family properties are generally more expensive than single-family homes, requiring a higher down payment and potentially higher financing costs.Management Complexity: Managing multiple tenants, leases, and potential tenant issues can be more complex and time-consuming.Local Market Demand: The demand for multi-family units can vary significantly by location, potentially affecting rental income and property value.If you are more interested in Class A or B properties and have a less cash flow-dependent plan, residential properties can be a simpler place to start.

I would also consider GA, but that market is pretty saturated right now, so it would be hard to really do it effectively in the time frame that a 1031 would require. 

These loans will offer the cheapest interest rates, especially if you're going to occupy one yourself.My advice, if you have the downpayment + income to support the loan, speak to a loan officer to review your profile and see if it makes sense before exploring non-conventional methods (more expensive rates & bigger downpayment/reserve requirements).
