@Fran Petrillo I agree with @John Warren - you need to check your lease and see what the market will command.

If something with old kitchens and beat-up interiors is selling for $60K a unit, you maybe be able to command $75K-80K with proper renovations.Also, if you can get a sense of the cap rate in that neighborhood, you can also check rental listings to get an idea of what the units will rent for (and therefore what the property is worth).

Most builders can pay 20-25% of the value of the sale price of the house for the land if the lots are just standard and not special like waterfront, average or view lots that would command a premium.

I went with a condo because prices were way less than single families but commanded similar rents.

I have found that they command a premium for rent because the water is an amenity that isn’t easily duplicated. 

@Sixto Velasco as far as a straight up investor play as others mentioned you should look for a higher ROI , but Some locations command a premium due to the intrinsic land appreciation.

@Dorothy Monette we have military, cyber command, NSA, industry, medical, university, manufacturing, etc.  

Banks want to lend to owner occupants and lending to a business entity might mean they might be intending to take advantage of lower owner occupant rates then turn it into an investment property which would normally command higher rates and down payments.

And good choice of location:  Carrollton/Farmers Branch is highly sought after, commands high rents and leases up very fast.Andy
