First of all I would like to say that your approach of taking a job as a real estate assistant is a fantastic idea to maximize your time, it is something that definitely wish I would’ve thought of when I was taking my pre licensing course.

@John Thedford I think you should rethink your approach.

Cashflow is king is a short sighted approach, one that often has limited room for growth potential.  

We can all get a better understanding of the many ways a similar situation can be approached.

For the unit count, the payroll actually seems high to me, but different operators will approach that differently. 

Couple that with the $60k lot and you're at $585k which leaves $165k-215k left over to build the well and septic before you start approaching the prices that that size cabin seems to be selling for as a new build. 

If the seller has a loan from the person he bought it from why not approach him and see if he might carry you for a couple years.

So, here’s why I’m here; although we enjoy our business ventures and strive to invest more into real estate for years to come, we want to take a more aggressive approach to achieve financial freedom.

Lastly, if time flexibility is your top priority, I would look into brokers that doesn't rely on traditional offices and practices, but rather take a more mobile approach to their broker model as office hours can be very limiting in terms of how you are able to utilize your own time. 

If you slip up in this business the LAW will remind you that ignorance it no excuse.So bear with me as I alter my perspective and thus my approach.
