Lest they get nailed for selling RE without a license.  

That seemed high given material is only $20/400 ft, but they will have to be nailed into concrete?

@Dustin P. you nailed it right there. 

At this point I just want to get involved in any capacity in a real estate investing project even if it means hammering some nails or sending out letters.

I've seen a lot of very supportive folks who work for Historic Preservation, either a department or a commission, or maybe a couple planners assigned to that kind of work.You may know all this already, but if it's in an historic district, you may need their oversight when replacing windows.

I think the nail in the coffin is really the counties sq ft assessment. will update everyone later on tonight on which way things go

This is what I mean:House 1: 0.57acre, mostly level lot (very uncommon in my area), no neighbor to left (land is unbuildable), no home directly across, end of cul-de-sac, lake view, backs up to nature preserve, holding pond borders lot, utility easement (grass, not a dirt road) across the front and along side of property, limited to 2 car garage and driveway, sunken basement (no walkout option), plumbing rough-ins in basement.

We tried to preserve the historical aspects when possible.Pictures of our property on take over: No landscaping, brick exterior in excellent condition, but no curb appeal. 

In contrast, many compliant providers charge a very reasonable initial fee, followed by low annual annual maintenance fees to preserve the tax-favored status of your plan.

Jack hit the nail on the head when it comes to podcast making things seem fast when it comes to cash out refis.
