Will likely eat up some time but at least no add'l cost. 

Since we are on a farm, I provide guests with bagels and farm fresh eggs.   

The only way you may true money in the stock market is not put most of your eggs in one basket. 

I am fine eating a few thousand up front to benefit in the long run, but will still need to sell my house for a profit (let's ignore whether or not I can get X dollars above what I paid just 6 months ago).

I can tell you this, it won't take long to eat up $44k in attorney fees.

But you've got to make sure that the acquisition price of the land will eat up your reinvestment requirements from the sale. 

For me the numbers on This return would fit more favorable with white collar cities because I would be able to landlord on autopilot or less hassle free than blue collar towns in rural areas where if one loses a tenant it may be months of vacancy which will eat up profits in no time.

I guess the question is sort of a "chicken and egg" discussion.

Otherwise, the interest rate / points can eat you alive!

So it seems I can't have my cake and eat it too.
