At this point I just want to get involved in any capacity in a real estate investing project even if it means hammering some nails or sending out letters.

I've seen a lot of very supportive folks who work for Historic Preservation, either a department or a commission, or maybe a couple planners assigned to that kind of work.You may know all this already, but if it's in an historic district, you may need their oversight when replacing windows.

I think the nail in the coffin is really the counties sq ft assessment. will update everyone later on tonight on which way things go

This is what I mean:House 1: 0.57acre, mostly level lot (very uncommon in my area), no neighbor to left (land is unbuildable), no home directly across, end of cul-de-sac, lake view, backs up to nature preserve, holding pond borders lot, utility easement (grass, not a dirt road) across the front and along side of property, limited to 2 car garage and driveway, sunken basement (no walkout option), plumbing rough-ins in basement.

We tried to preserve the historical aspects when possible.Pictures of our property on take over: No landscaping, brick exterior in excellent condition, but no curb appeal. 

In contrast, many compliant providers charge a very reasonable initial fee, followed by low annual annual maintenance fees to preserve the tax-favored status of your plan.

Jack hit the nail on the head when it comes to podcast making things seem fast when it comes to cash out refis.

there is probably 100k pre-tax here if everything goes smoothly. it sounds like you have a good grip on what you're doing. pretty large rehab for a first-timer, but gotta start somewhere, right. nail that rehab budget down and go from there. you will, most likely, still have to baby-sit the GC, so make it a priority to follow the SoW completion on the daily.

I've nailed down my seed investor and am forging partnerships for additional funding for now and in the future.

I am just dipping the nail of my pinkie toe into this arena, considering whether and how I might get into BRRRR, and doing some evaluation of my own character, strengths, and weaknesses.
