That is a lot to chew on. 

Hi all,I recently posted about this topic and unfortunately did not receive any responses.I have recently established my land acquisition business with the goal to purchase parcels of land, either within data center opportunity zones or areas with the potential to allow for data center development, rezone the property with submitted plans, then sell to developers ‘shovel-ready’ within the various jurisdictions of the Commonwealth of Virginia.I understand there are multiple mechanisms that come into play including obtaining financing (partnering with an experienced investor), utilizing land-use attorneys, land surveying and engineering firms, appraisers, as well as approval from local planning commissions, board of supervisors, etc.Would there be any investors who are currently active in this niche?

You will get the deposit when the transaction settles and you don't want the tenant coming back later saying it was more.Try to get pictures of the property before the tenant moved in to establish move-in condition.

Established brands will generally have the nod over mom/pop as noted.

There’s a lot to be said about rental arbitrage on the forums already.

@Akku Kumar, I recommend establishing your budget first.

Everything could be managed remotely but you still need a person to inspect the property every month or more frequently during stabilization and less frequently afterwards.Being a small-sized but with well established and automized STRs gives a better service comparing to middle size where you are just another client.
