I am giving myself no more than 6 months to buy my first house.Long Term Real Estate Goals: Eventually I want the financial security that I feel I can achieve in real estate investing.

I have owned a LLC partnership for 6 years in Maryland that owns rental properties and filed tax returns. 

Some are even doing it on debt investments which are more secure than equity.

Offered less than market value by a long shot, secured the contract! 

He could always file BK to buy some time.

You will find that it will cost around $1800 to do the required asbestos test, secure permits and do the tear down. standard 2 car garages with pad run around $14,000, plus or minus.

We have run the numbers and expect we could get about $45 per space and would squeeze about 250 *uncovered* spaces on this land.This would require grading, putting down road base, security lighting, cameras, an 8 ft perimeter fence with gate (not automatic). 

My question is what should I do 1st: Secure preapprovals through various Hard Money Lenders (that way I know what how much I'd be able to work with)Place offers Thanks BP

I marketed the unit and screened/accepted new tenants, accepted holding deposit in secured funds.

I would obviously like to get my tenants secured and locked up in writing as soon as possible but issue is I don't have formal land use permits as of yet nor have I started the process - all I know is that QSR/coffee shop/drive thrus are allowed according to the zoning code.
