Mostly because the tax incentives are *insanely* good. 

Are you planning to build, hold, or flip the land?

I then did some wholesaling, land flipping, did some more buying and am now just doing lending to build up active income.

Glad you are setting aside money, but if the HVAC is 20 years old, or the septic system has never been pumped, or the roof is 25 years old, etc; you will get hit with a cost before your build up enough set aside.How stable is the other tenant? 

You could build a block wall like they do on freeways, but why put a bunch of money into the place?

Heck, even within offices, the small 1-tenant office buildings suitable for a dental practice or law practice, those are in a very different world. 

@Aaron Washington wind insurance is a must unless you have master insurance in place that covers your building.

I suspect a decent VA could access public records and build a mainling list for you  or check Property Radar and see if there software will do that for you..

A generic space might attract one-time guests, but a strategically designed rental tailored to your ideal guest type builds loyalty, commands higher rates, and keeps your calendar booked.But it’s not just about aesthetics—choosing the right amenities can significantly boost your ROI, but they’re not one-size-fits-all.

Generally speaking, with SFR or small multis, I just rely on the lease/rent roll (and some form of proof of payment; i.e. bank statements, deposit receipts, tax returns, etc.).
