However, I’m increasingly excited about starting a unique stays/glamping business.

I like the West Mobile area, its class A area, you can definitely find deals there, 3 bedroom with 2 bathroom for around 220k or so, you may have to wait a couple of years for positive cash flow but properties there increasing in values better than others.

They can introduce you to all the local players you will need like property managers and lenders.Over time, increase your own personal knowledge and development with books, podcasts, and conferences on the topic.But finding a commercial real estate broker with a teacher's heart will go a long way to getting you started.To your success!

Will you have cash flow on day one or do you need to increase rents or find better tenants? 

The equity increased a ton especially w the limited supply 

How do you evaluate the increase (or decrease) in price of the land in question down the road?

Hi @Joy McQueary - you can find a breakdown of rental rate increases by state online, and here's where to find a list of the hottest multi-family markets.

I’ve used seller financing as both a buyer and a seller and it can make a lot of sense in certain circumstances (for example I used it as a buyer when I reached the maximum number of conventional loans I could get, and I’ve used it as a seller to both increase my net proceeds (due to collecting interest as “the bank” in addition to the sales proceeds) and to lessen my capital gains tax hit by spreading it out over a few years).

Over the past two years I've been averaging around 25 to 30% on these, a year since as interest rates Rise this causes an increase in the BDC's net interest margin or profits, so you get capital appreciation of the stock price plus 12 to 14 per cent year dividends paid out.

As home prices or interest rates increase, fewer people can afford to purchase homes, forcing them to rent.
