@Joe Wortham SBA loans are used to acquire real estate for small business (less than $5MM annual revenue) that intend on having a portion of their day to day operations/function as a part of that real estate.

I have in the meantime gotten my realtor's license (to allow me access to the MLS, to write my own offers and see comps).  

Turns out, it has some major flaws ($$$) The sub floor and beams under the bathroom are rotten and will result in the bathroom being totally torn up to get to the beams and repair and then putting the bathroom back together.The other thing was-there is no access to the attic.

nope, i only have access to credit at the moment and i didn't want to tie it up knowing that the same money could tie up a real property.

It's my hope to eventually acquire multiple properties that can support this goal.

And first name is not RAM as in Random Access Memory it should be pronounced rAAm. ;-)Cheers!

What exactly is land acquisition as you are using it in this context, Mantissa....beyond "locating land and acquiring it", that is. :-)Thanks in advance.

The rehab would probably take about 3 weeks so if priced properly I could probably have a buyer as soon as 3-7 weeks after I acquire the property!

zoning, setbacks, non-permitted structure, access/easement requirements...

Only problem is that the only access into the Master Bedroom is through the Master Bath.
