I would file a complaint with them for holding onto it and demand that future complaints be forwarded in a timely manner, preferably in writing.At this point, I would conduct the inspection and respond based on what I find.

@Bruce WoodruffThe sharp increase in home prices in itself does not indicate a bubble, there are other fundamental factors to consider, including “shifts in disposable income, the cost of credit and access to it, supply disruptions, and rising labor and raw construction materials costs are among the economic reasons for sustained real house-price gains.Most housing experts are predicting the market to remain strong for a while for several reasons.1.

With all these hoops to jump through it's even difficult for contractors, purveyors, architects and myriad stakeholders to follow the bouncing ball let alone pull permits in a timely manner.

Is it possible to purchase land from a city in this manner?

Like many other managers, we find it difficult to find contractors that can do the work right in a timely manner.

I want cash flow so that I can sustain my real estate business and myself.

Here is how I look at it.If you have a "Good Deal" Risk vs Numbers and an attractive exit strategy timeline,ANDYou tie it up with Earnest moneyANDDue Diligence pans out good (after paying for it as needed).ANDYou know a handful of people who are "Accredited Investors" that are liquid in enough cash for your minimum buy in,ANDLike the asset type, risk/reward, and exit timeline,ANDthey trust you and your team to accomplish the results you put forthAND you have a lender lined up with loanYou have a pretty good shot at closing...BUTALWAYS having a way to finance it...not ALWAYS...I've seen things fall through the cracks due to the above AND's.How do you meet Accredited Investors....networking and talking to people.It's best to understand securities law and have a good Real Estate Securities Attorney.ANDDressing in a more business manner might help vs a hoodie which is ok for for hours.Just try to match what successful businessmen in your area wear.Good Luck!

Unfortunately getting a Heloc is the same process as if you were getting a traditional mortgage, your credit line will depend on combination of the total debt you carry and total income - DTI (debt to income); you income must be high enough to sustain multiple mortgages, consumer debt AND Heloc debt.

Especially, those who are playing a larger game or wanting to sustainably grow.Thank you guys for sharing!

It went from high but sustained to irrational and mad.
