Purchase price: $28,000 Cash invested: $28,000 Raw land, and 2 adjacent lots to be developed into duplex rental What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

We're saying don't try to find the lowest hanging fruit.  

I do have a new opportunity that I have under contract with a plot of raw land in the same area. 

Suburbs in path of progress is the low hanging fruit.

The finished product and getting the rewards from the fruit of the labor is way down the line.

try to buy some raw land and flip it. 

Credit scores are a reflection of someone's ability to learning and understanding the rules of the game and haveing the discipline to play by them.If you already have good credit, already pay everything on time (autopay), then increaseing your limits will probably help you the most, because it gets your utilization down, ideally under 10%.Higher hanging fruits are average credit and account age (just have to wait for that I guess) and inquiries, which are sometimes unavoidable as real estate investors.  

We are hoping to avoid doing any sort of partnership and maintain a single member LLC, but searching online hasn't been fruitful.

And none of them had been fruitful.
