I'd love to hear what other people are doing and recommend; tips and tricks for guarding a vacant property. 

Buy a property when it feels good is when you are buying your primary home where your kids will grow up and you'll live with your family.

Welcome to the community and be ready for a huge amount of information at your finger tips.

Are there strategies, financing tips, or resources you’d recommend for someone in my position?

basically if anyone has any tips when it comes to researching plots of land in order to make the right purchase i would greatly appreciate it get with a realtor. we underwrite land at no more than 10% of after built value. in our market we build under the average new build value which is about 515k. we like to be around 420-450k and smaller footprint about 1500 sq ft with attached garages. we build close to urban core where everyone wants to live and net migrations match up. but suburban is fine. if you give more context I can help but in most markets land is a buyers market. most people aren't looking at it or buying it. 

Bonus Tip: If this quadruplex is out of state, I’d highly recommend building a reliable local team (cleaners, handymen, etc.) and maybe consider hiring a co-host or VA to help with day-to-day tasks, especially if you scale up.
