Share cropping with a retail farm stand/farmer's market is one, if it's the right kind of land in the right location. 

I am a realtor in the Albany area, our office located right on Western Ave.

@Edwing Hernandez Lots of unsupported claims...same story with Roofstock...nothing like getting on camera and claiming you have a magic formula but no evidence of what's in the potion....they want you to go on faith alone, I guess...

I understand that starting condition and location will play a factor here, but just wondering what your experience has been.

More and more insurers are refusing to cover disaster-prone locations.

Most sellers are looking for 70-90% of the legal payoff nowadays no matter where the property is located, which in many cases is well above the unpaid balance. 

The discrepancy between property values listed in their offering statements and actual values (relying specifically on Philadelphia real estate inventory, which is where I am located and have knowledge of property values)Have any active investors cared to look into this? 

Also make sure you are comfortable with some holding costs if the units don't get rented right away (if vacant).Also look into if there is rent control in the area that the property is located.

Since my current strategy is BRRRR, I'm looking for a location where I can implement it successfully within my budget.I’d prefer to target the best neighborhoods or subdivisions I can afford, ideally with favorable eviction laws and other key factors.That said, I started wondering if there might be a better strategy to achieve my goals.
