Now I only have one seasonal job as a volunteer wild land firefighter.

That is a wild goose chase.

After hours of BP podcast and reading books and forums I now have the confidence to get in the wild game of real estate investing. 

That's an added protection so little Jimmy doesn't go buck wild. 

Learn, read, and network like a wild-man.

Otherwise, you'll end up with a patch that looks worse than the crack.As far as cost, it's almost entirely labor, which varies wildly from area to area and impossible to guess, but it's not a big job so not a lot of hours.

Talk about a wild ride.

If you really want a wild idea to get started with a listing call some FSBO's and offer to list their house for free if they use you to buy their next house.

If a property is worth $600k, and is listed at $500k, then offering the list price is a waste of time, because the market here will adjust and it will be bid up to $600k.Now it is certainly not the norm that properties are overpriced by huge margins in our market (In the $1 million plus range they are, but thats part of the pricing strategy), but if they are that wildly overpriced then it is likely due to the non-realistic expectations of the seller in which case the offer could still be a waste of time.

I have a tuned lease package for individuals, but I don't know how much of it will apply in this situation.The interested business is most likely going to use the property for work visa immigrants to work in a nearby resort, probably from eastern European countries, but this is just a somewhat-wild/somewhat-educated guess based on local activity.
