I recommend really farming the area you are now before going to that. 

The zoning ( Oregon is a proponent of high density don't touch farm land) So the City zoning following the state and metro guidelines was for 5 to 7 sq ft lots..

We had an old trailer 1990 model that we picked up for $1500 & we put it on our 5 acres with the farm/multi unit bldg.

I went from W2-->SFR live-in-then-rent-->SFR purchase and rent-->SFR live-in fix-and-flip-->small MF/townhomes-->Medium MF and failed-->wanting to buy a farm but the deals stunk-->more small MF/townhomes-->finding vineyards and learning to underwrite them-->2 years figuring out and putting first vineyard deal together-->now building a winery services business-->syndicating development of wine grape vineyards in our area to grow an empire.The point is this: Life is unpredictable and fun, unless you're doing nothing.

BTW, this house has stood on the property for about 100 years, it is one of the original farm houses in this area.  

This property is in a rural area and the School house type structure is on a small lot that doesn't match the other property types in the area (they are mostly bigger houses on large acreage farms).

Like here in OregonUGB = Urban Growth Boundry EFU +  Exclusive Farm UseFF   =  forestAF   +  Ag and Forest then all your residential type zoning'syour R 1 R 2 etc. 

Pick a neighborhood/town/city to lock in on (farming) and absorb as much knowledge as you can.

So far I've taken notes on defining your target market, what questions to answer about that area, the types of flips there are in 3 basic categories, financing options, how to farm for leads, renovations to consider, what type of contractor to look for, how to find them, and how to properly communicate with them.
