I don't remember many tracts or new const.

There are some restriction related to median income in your county and whether the property is in a certain census tract. 

Working  now with a manufactured dealer/devopler currently and he is pitching new home manufactured in the los Angeles area that are considering larger tracts . 

think about me buying a 100 acre timber tract  Menasha pre paying for the logs on a timber deed.. at NO points and NO interest.. me delivering the logs in 60 days us making 200 to 300k on the logs NET in our jeans and then owning the 100 acres free and clear and then using the skid roads and landing zones as our building site then doing a 4X split and selling off 4 25 acre homes sites for about 75 t0 100k each.. that is what I did for about 10 years and when anyone ask me what is the favorite thing I did in real estate it is that.Well like all great things it came to screeching halt about 97 ish...

     , high rental rates for rooms, the prospective changes to airbnb , and the plethora of affordable cencus tract based down payment programs here 2023 could be the year of house hacking.  

No more building out a tract hoping for them all to sell.

The land was originally part of a large tract of land (the whole block) owned by a prominent family.

When a city varies this much you have to drill down to the individual census tract level.

Walk through some "flipped" houses with a realtor, then walk through some tract builds and spec (speculative) housing projects.

That way if you get roommate drama and one tenant moves out you do not have to tract them down, the remaining 3 are still responsible for the 1300.
