I used to wholesale, on a bootstrap budget, did well mostly focused direct to seller on pre-foreclosures.

At the very least you should have a discussion with your lender and have them pre-qualify you if you are planning on getting traditional financing.

@Jennifer Beatty if you’re planning to wholesale, your seller leads will likely know the market is hot and be expecting a little more, but there are still deals to be found.If you’re planning to flip, finding deals will be a challenge, but with the market the way it is, selling is less so, and your ARV pre-flip may not be your ARV post flip (in a good way).

I think your first step should be getting in contact with your current lender and seeing what you would qualify for in terms of financing at this point, then delve into the realm of new construction loans pre approval once you have a ballpark of how much a new build will cost. 

We were in the process of getting pre-approved for a loan when we hit a roadblock.

@Tim ShiI use 5% in all my pre-acquisition due-diligence, because I want to be consistent when analyzing different properties.

As far as the $15/hr min wage, I think a lot of momentum would be assuaged if some states would raise their food service worker minimums above $3/hr. 

It is a really solid area - great location to attractions, shopping, food and family fun.
