I would also encourage hiring a photographer.

If anyone takes a photograph of your mattress in the subject and sends it to the IRS you could owe capital gains.

What's the curb appeal?

I would much prefer to maximize the square footage of the home sitting in the pad in order to appeal to larger pool of interested parties (Buyers or Tenants).As far as an improvement to life being to live in a tiny home?

For example, does buying the land in cash prior to obtaining a construction loan more appealing to a bank?

Good house, good area very very bad entry door/curb appeal. 

However, the idea that you should waive a home inspection to make your offer more appealing is one of the biggest real estate myths of 2021.

Even if the federal eviction moratorium cases get appealed to the supreme court, that doesn't necessarily affect state eviction moratoriums.

This way you will be able to meet and learn from local investors who are investing in whichever niche is most appealing to you. 

In order to get it rent-ready, I’m finding most of the properties I do need new windows & doors, kitchen, baths, flooring, and curb appeal to try and maximize the value.
