But We plan to build a deck on the land to start and then make it an easy place to camp on the land.

One of the key benefits of long distance investing is the ability to access markets with higher potential returns (particularly in the Midwest).

I'm noticing there are some really nice cash flow markets in texas, some of which are really close to the Mexican border, though.

I would recommend doing the opposite. look for land on a per acre basis and focus on how could you make it more valuable. we purchased a piece of land for 60k and just got the appraisal back for 900k based on what we got entitled there for a hotel development in columbus ohio. keep the focus on adding value. forget the loan
