Hello Laura,I have actively purchased land that I identified for the last 10+ years.The easiest way to find out if the land is for sale is to talk to the owner directly.You can use tools such as Whitepages.com surprisingly they have over 90% of people's cell numbers.If you can't get the owner on the phone, I would send them a letter asking them if they want to sell, I have seen other people use actual contract offers that they send out to the owner trying to purchase the property.I would not share my concept unless its some sort of Charity that you are either seeking a partner or donation for.I haven't used PropStream, However one really good tool is called Land Glide, its and app on your phone, and you can look at the parcel makes in real time, and also see the owner info and for each parcel.Hope this helps,Dustin 

misc also includes unexpected charges such as water charge associated with a leak such as a slab leak.In addition, at this rent point you will find it difficult to get a PM at 10% all inclusive (including tenant placement, inspections, lease renewals, etc).  

While I am surprised at that, I also think it is the proper way to view real estate.I always go back to my first vacation rental purchase as an example:  In 2005, I bought a beautiful, 2-acre creek-side cabin in Cosby (near Gatlinburg) for $240,000. 

So don’t be surprised whoever you check out if you end up with a citizens policy.  

If you hear "fast, easy, and requires no money" - don't be surprised if you lose a lot of money. 

EDUCATE YOURSELF - yes, it will take time, but will lead to a selection that better meets your expectations & avoids potentially costly surprises!

@Arya Chen Another suggestion is to look in the Events & Meetups section of the forums and attend some in person networking events even if you don't live in the areas you're considering investing, if you attend regular events and let people know what you're looking for - you'll be surprised at the connections you can make and where they can get you! 

Quote from @Sara Frank: Surprisingly, there are pockets of Washington DC that can net you significant cash flow using Section-8.

You have done AMAZINGLY well, no surprise because you are committed and giving it 200%. 

We had a surprise at the end when we were getting ready to re-rent and had gas leaks in all of the units.
