We purchased 133.7 acres January 20th of 2024, we then proceeded to subdivide 4 building lots, ( two 10 acre lots,  and two 2 acre lots)  which included costs associated with septic testing,  survey & subdivision, and property maintenence required to market the building lots.

Its not as easy but once you are up in running you are building a brand, equity in your business, and also constant flow of leads.

I would strongly consider building equity to make a stronger down payment and further decrease your monthly cost. 

Very nice suburb area outside of Dallas and I'm very much ready to get in the real estate game!

I'm trying to figure out a way to utilize a large storage building at one of my MTR listings in Memphis.

The BRRRR strategy can also help build your capital base without significant upfront costs.

I think I'll start out where I live and probably branch out outnof state once I build my knowledge and experience. 

If smaller living space was the answer we could just build a boatload of 1000 unit apartment buildings.

I have a $2M building I bought for $935k, 3.5% down. 

Based on that number of units I would expect much higher figures - did you buy these buildings all/mostly cash?
