In pre-development, I intend to create an attractive design that fits the neighborhood, submit plans to the city and have all the approvals at hand to begin construction.

As @Taylor L. mentioned, it's important to always do your due diligence to research any team you are considering working with along with the markets & investment opportunities to ensure they fit your goals/criteria. 

What I mean is: yes, you can refinance your loan as many times you want as long as it fits your budget and your investment goals, but there is typically a requirement of time in between refinances. 

I upload those lists into an online crm called ClientLook which allows me to see if owners (or llcs) own several properties which increases your chance to find an owner that fits your cold call or mailer.

I am a highly organized minimalist: I take meticulous care of my environment, and can fit most of what I physically own in one backpack.

My understanding is if you are buying it for investment and it is real property it fits the bill.

I think I would genuinely enjoy hiring contractors to fix up a home in a vision I see fit; and of course I would enjoy the profit off the sale of those flips.I have a decent job working as a government contractor in the IT field, but I have a dream to be able to leave that work and go all in with real estate someday. 

I would focus on financial planner that is the proper fit far more than them being local. 

Commercial properties are also an option, but residential seems more of a fit for us.

Google then to see what fits your needs.
