Waterfront lots do sell and Wells Fargo and BB&T offer programs for folks to purchase lots with the intention of building but it is not construction or construction permanent financing to the best of my understanding.Good luck.

It is worth getting an attorney involved and discussing the intent and allow the attorney to help draft needed paperwork and perhaps resolutions and manager contracts to ensure the protection is sound.Most mortgages have a Due On Sale or Alienation Clause.

I'd suggest you not get involved with any heavy lifting (massive rehabs) something to add lipstick too and rent it or spin it off.

Keep in mind that you should never get involved in a bidding war as an investor.

Do you know what you're doing, have knowledge of RE or are you following a step by step program?

What could be the best way to get involved where I ain't breaking no brokering rules and protecting myself from getting paid?

There was a recent thread where people were discussing the risk natural disaster risk involved in having all your properties in one city or regional area.

If so, how do you locate the ideal person for that, and what would you expect to pay and receive from that person, and would they typically have ongoing involvement through the project (or just upfront consultation and design work).

Paying cash makes your offer stronger and makes the initial purchase easier because there's no lender involved.

In reality, it would be hard to really keep you idenity secret, it's pretty much hipe to sell programs.
