Also, you mention property risk - this one's raised about 6-8 feet from ground which is good. 

At the moment my focus is geared towards being a boots on the ground guy looking for deals to wholesale.

However my job requires a lot of my time and my wife and I can’t seem to find the middle ground on what the best strategy for us is.

Since you have your boots on the ground see what neighborhoods are nearby, and what's not yet being priced under Buford prices.

Work has included entire replacement of lower level flooring/sub-flooring, new roof, replacement of half the interior sheetrock, reconstruction of front and back decks, reconstruction of kitchen and bathrooms from ground up.

If you have worked with anybody that you recommend I would be grateful for a point in the right direction.

I will be very grateful if someone could get in contact with me.

I will do so if I cannot find a common ground with the contractor.

We should be fine since the land value should have doubled or tripled since we took it from Farm ground to property utilized for commercial use.Continuing to invest for the future. 

It’s a question of different banking and legal systems, financing opportunities and leverage (or the lack thereof), language, culture, strategies that with and others that don’t, having people on the ground you can trust, ....On the other hand, many people are doing it.
