.- Neaby homes sell for around  $600k, and towards $1M- Property on the market for over a yearQuestions:What’s a good way to organize thoughts on a deal that goes from wooded lot to selling the home?

I know that is a lot to consider.

But there is a lot to consider of course, Brandon Turner sums it up very well in this video: https://youtu.be/9Ol2W8SE8b8This is a bit high level, but hope it gives you at least a starting point.

@Gene Bonham Probably not interested in the vacant lots unless it was a particularly valuable location, but as far as buying a lot to build a house, I am not interested in new construction. 

He bought the adjacent vacant lot to build on.

There is a lot to know in advance of actually investing including studying your state landlord tennat regulations, market values, market rents, appreciation etc.

.- Survey - I don't think this is really a thing done everywhere, but around here, it can cost around 350-400 for a normal city lot to be surveyed (greater for more land) and can be pretty expensive for the sellers.

I just bought a lot to build a home on  and I am making MUCH smaller monthly payments on my lot and it is a mental drag.  

Read a lot to start off start with non- real estate books like rich dad poor dad and the richest man in Babylon so you could understand the principles.

I am age 32 so that play a lot to my question.
