Repairs cost more than anticipated  

If you decide to go that route, hire an experienced management company and underwrite very conservatively otherwise you could get ruined by high maintenance & turnover costs and potentially evictions.

You can go to another CPA that just files and doesn't really look into your financials and their cost could be less but you're actually paying for it in the long run.

Hi bought ten lots of land in Sebring Florida its R# zoned paying for upfront construction cost need help with getting a mortgage once its built so I can continual to build on  the rest of the lots going to be about 18 homes made of containers I have 3 other investors working with me.

An LLC seems to complicated and costly at the moment. 

That's three months of mortgage and utilities, the cost of flooring, and the cost of painting.

It costs 10k for them to complete one deal for you and to get your foot in the door.

I knew that I could probably cover these cost on a sub 185k home, but that still left closing cost and other unknown expenses to come.

What would something like this possibly cost? 

I've asked for any documentation that these 2005 Rules & Regs were rescinded, changed, or no longer in effect.
