@Luke H.As they say, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.

My main concern would be attempting to purchase a new property with a HM loan, and this negatively impact my debt to income ratio preventing me from rolling over my construction loan to a VA loan. 

Unknown Expenses: I know it should go under maintenance but the quarterly preventative pest control needs to be accounted for.

So in my area, municipalities  are trying to keep land undeveloped thus kept as open space - they buy the development rights and the deed is restricted from development; that could mean development is limited to some small section or completely prevented.

With you having the property under contract that prevents the cash buyer from going behind your back for at least the time you have it under contract.

The purpose is to prevent suicide and homelessness through shared housing.

While there isn’t a specific rule that I’m aware of preventing this, I also know that the spirit of FHA financing is to help finance individuals seeking primary residencies, not investment properties.

I am assured that this time, a little bit of modesty will not prevent us from finding out. 

The inspection recommends grading the land next to the property and installing a gutter extension to prevent further washout and settling.

Hopefully it'll prevent this lull in work from happening again.
