I can't believe we live under such a tyranny of internet censorship. 

My local cable, internet, cell and utility companies are already using it to field calls and answer questions online and phone.

Have your CPA run this scenario with your numbers; too much money to take advice from the internet!

Charge for amenities like cable, internet, and pet fees.

Many of the folks I worked with back during the dawn of the internet business era have moved on, so this is a learning curve, but I’m embracing it.Partnerships are something I’m open to, whether it’s working on your projects or collaborating on future deals.

I have not been able to find any in person networking events in my area doing a basic internet search.

STR internet guru's seem to be coming out of woodwork the last couple of years.

So it takes comprehensive knowledge of the market trends, zoning laws, the local municipalities approval process, survey cost, subsoil conditions, irrigation requirements, development cost, utilities (gas, power and internet), city water or well water, city sewer or POSW to name just a few...A builder developed the farm field next to our SD, bought it for $1.5M and wanted to build 25 homes as a conservancy subdivision.

You will need to find partners, you will need to travel to where you wish to invest, you will need to understand the ins and outs of the business by being actively involved and treating it like a business and not some super passive investment.If you don't want to do that work I suggest you just put that 200k into some sort of diversified mutual fund that can make you 10+% on your money without any of the work of real estate.At the end of the day this is just my advice and I'm only a stranger on the internet.

I think what we are seeing is with most of these folks having these issues and now with the internet these issues are broadcast wide far.
