I paid tax on it and mowed it about every 5 years so maybe put 10k into over the years.. deductive reasoning suggested city does not build and full blown interchange to go to nowhere. 

Purchase price: $15,000 Cash invested: $25,000 Sub to deal - paid the seller and wholesaler $15,000 + $7500 closing costs to assume $84,000 mortgage with a monthly PITI of $575.

The brokerage should be very glad to have you onboard.I'm looking forward to your future posts as you share your success. 

I have $35k of my own money to go towards the purchase.

What you've done in the past is no longer working, so what are you going to do differently going forward?

I'm exploring options to purchase a new home as a primary residence within a 3 hour drive of Houston George Bush Intl Airport (IAH) with a USDA loan that I could turn into an Airbnb to rent out when I am not there because I spend a lot of time overseas.

Is your home insurance going to be $1200/year or $6,000/year. 

From what you posted this is going to take a decent amount of all to make an already unprofitable property just a little less unprofitable.

LOL Happy to share any knowledge about that niche, since as you can see, I am kind of the go to for KY and that is all I do.

@Robert Ellis, you're obviously very experienced, and have a valuable property and deal going, well thought out and planned.
