For water maybe some sort of large reservoir and have water trucked in?

Does anyone own an RV, Boat, or Truck storage business?

This situation has prompted me to reassess whether now is the optimal time to enter the property investment market or if I should explore alternative investment avenues.

A popular and profitable alternative is medium term rentals or 30+day stays.

You could rent it to a food truck to use 1x a week for $100 a day or $400 a month2.

If your cleaner is strong-arming you you can find an alternative on Turno.

It sounds like you will be looking for hard money loans, which are a better alternative to conventional loans when you are looking to flip a deal.

If you can't get sewer, then your alternative is onsite septic, if soil is suitable, then your buildable area shrinks dramatically due to drain field and reserve areas for each home.

Someone who is intimidated by it might not want 2, but probably doesn't want 1 either.The risk in the two portfolios is inverse to each other since we don't know anything more about either alternative.

If you're not a W-2 employee or have additional income you can try an alternative income verification such as bank statement deposit averages or asset depletion (if you have significant reserves or assets.)
