Your comments about the loan product are consistent with what we've been hearing, but the product does indeed exist:The HUD guide to the loanA blog post about the FHA Construction to Perm productThe idea of paying cash for the lot is a great one which I hadn't considered, but unfortunately lots here in Brooklyn start at $350k and only go up from there; if we could pay cash for the lot we could put 25%+ down on the whole project!

If real estate is your goal then BP might just be your best shot at getting a job. 

I know VA loans carry a bit more friction for us, but it's nothing compared to getting shot at in the mountains of Afghanistan.  

Just shot you a note...thx

They communicate consistently (in fact i have my own personal customer service rep), the owner is extremely knowledgeable about economics and investing and the company is a fun group to work with.

-Throughout the years, tenant has consistently been rude to other family members (also owners) and consistently makes baseless claims that they spent several hundreds of thousands on remodeling the unit and changing floorplans (explicitly stated in the lease that this cannot be done without our consent) and has to always make the last point, regardless if it is reasonable and/or valid.

At this point my background checks and vetting process consists of searching the internet for any information I can find related to the person's name, phone number and email.

The black matter is consistently all around the tub edges.

@Mariana Pasin What Bob said is consistent with what I understand about that market. 

What they often conveniently forget to say is that oftentimes the people who get shot were involved in drugs, which could easily happen at home too.
