from my advice rural properties and developments aren't successful and you are climbing an uphill battle. sounds a little niche. we focus on developing and not reinventing the wheel. if this is truly what you want to focus all your time and energy on then visit the closest 5-10 of these that look like the ones you are interested and ask if they'd expand or build a secondary one. do a lot of research before you just take action 

With my in-laws living in Augusta,  I visit the area a few times a year, and it definitely seems like there’s some potential in the market.  

I actually enjoy visiting there from time to time. 

Cities I’m Considering: Saint Paul, MNDes Moines, IAOmaha, NESioux Falls, SDWichita, KSOklahoma City, OKEl Paso, TXKnoxville, TNNashville, TNClarksville, TNCharlotte, NCSan Antonio, TXDallas-Fort Worth, TXIf you visit Fort Worth, I'm happy to show you around and or give you some notes!

By "Tax Loss" I mean that it is likely that without depreciation your property is cash flow positive.If you Materially Participate in the management of your portfolio of rental properties, that loss will be treated as Non-passive, and will flow through to page one of your Form 1040 tax return.  

Pretty catchy IMO.....VRBOs money would be much better spent hiring better talent on the app/web development side.

Of course a visit to the county records office and -correct reading of the legal description would reveal that the tennis court lot was the one being sold.  

And yes, we always coordinate our visits with the tenants and send an email ahead of time explaining what we do and where we'll look.  

I have family in Kansas City, MO area so I thought that would be a good place to start since I could visit properties while visiting family.

If the agent can send you comps or sit down to go over them with you then you both can be on the same page.
