I am new to the forum, but have searched it and could not find an answer to my question.Trying to buy a few condos for a cash flow where I would pay cash for them and refinance to get 80% off the table.A few condos that I have seen a non FHA approved.

Should I try to get pre approved for the largest loan amount available (and I'm comfortable without being over-extended)?

Here's the issue/question: I feel like I'm leaving a lot of money just sitting in this land.Does anyone know about the possibility or legality of fencing off a 1/4 to 1/2 acre of the land and putting a mobile home/ tiny home for rental use? 

But put in the contract that the purchase depends on the approval of the loan.

The intent is to prove your poor business practices/ attitudes when in legal disputes with your tenants.  

Would love feedback from other investors on the city of Fort Lauderdale approval process and steps.

If they have a weakness in residence/rental history, income/employment history, financial/credit history, or legal/criminal history, but generally meet all of your significant requirements, then collect more security deposit to cover your risk.You can download an example of our Rental Criteria, as well as Tenant Screening Questions, from the BP File Place if you're interested in seeing some examples.

Do not rely on it as legal advice.

Hello all,
I am new to the real estate investing world and I am considering the path of rental properties but one of my major concerns is the chance of lawsuits against the landlord. We all know accidents can happen ...

I would suspect it has since the lender wants to accelerate.You could do a quick claim deed back to the owner - that should stop the legal  action.
