My husband I are about to inherit just under 10 acres of undeveloped land, 6 minutes from downtown 29 Palms. It is zoned for single family residential and my understanding is that it has city water. 

We have a few long term rentals in the Southern U.S. and are about to start our first short term rental in WA but, we have no experience with development. I have read the city's vacation rental policy so it seems that short term rentals with this location are not an option (correct me if I'm wrong). 

What is the best course of action with this property in terms investment. Should we sell it as a whole? Split it into individual plots, if so how long does this process take in San Bernardino county? Should we develop it? 

Anyone with experience in the area that could provide some advice would be greatly appreciated! 

Hi Brandon, my family and I are potentially needing to find a midterm (month-to-month) rental near/around Leesburg/Ashburn/Sterling VA in between 2 primary residences. As someone searching for a MTR on the platform, are there different parameters to enter than a STR search? I was coming up with rents in the 5 figures searching as I would for a STR, in which case, it's less expensive to sign a 12 month lease and give notice to vacate early, which we don't want to do. I have no experience looking for a MTR. Thanks!

Curious to know your general thoughts on this. I'm looking/interested in a 4-unit (2 - 2B 2B 2Car attached garage | 2 - 2B 1.5B 1Car attached w/ patio space). Location is great as it surrounds tons of local shopping, dining, entertainment, and easy access to two main freeways.

The description mentions that the land lease expires in December on 2063. Is this something I should shy away from completely. Can someone offer their pros/cons list? I have absolutely 0 knowledge on how land leases affect real estate, and therefore, investing. Or is anyone can offer some resources/books to read up on the matter, I'd greatly appreciate the insight. Thank you all!

I should also mention, this investment would be a live-in/house-hack deal/purchase.

Hey all,

Just getting started on this journey and have started narrowing in on Kansas City MO. As I’m out of state I’m looking for a more passive situation and have started talking with a local turnkey provider but figured I’d reach out to this community to hopefully make some connections. 

My goal would be to buy something before the end of the year and hopefully add more properties yearly depending on various factors.  Not too worried about appreciation and of course would like some cash flow but I think mostly I want to make sure I’m buying in an area that would classify as a C+ and above.  Looking for homes selling between 100-200k.

I’ve already found some previous posts with neighborhood breakdowns and there are two properties I’m looking at now in the 64130 and 64132 zips. Any feedback there would be very helpful!

Thanks in advance!

Joe
