Sure, you could argue that you'd be collecting rent from your tenants, but good luck finding a multi that has enough positive cash flow to cover the entire mortgage, taxes, insurance, vacancy, maintenance, capex and your living expenses, food, gas, utilities, etc.

I’m currently building a team to work with me on house flips and rentals, and I wouldn’t want this land I want for mostly personal use to mess with those goals.Some initial ideas on adding value to the property: -build a pond w/dock, add a food plot, maybe a small cabin to attract hunters/outdoorsmen-fence some or all of the area to make a small profit (enough to cover property taxes?)

Is any of the space livable...can you put a person in a unit while renovating at a discount that would automatically increase after renovation...can you get a master lease that would lease all your units at one time regardless of people living in the units or not...Food for thought! 

Maybe they might move out after their year-long lease, but all that Starbucks and vegan food costs money!

Just some food for thought. 

They talk , leave messes , eat your food , bring over people you dont like   etc 

It gave a lot of food for thought.

Definitely some more food for thought.

Check crime records, test scores, tax rates,  and food deserts.

You need to highlight your successes in commercial and business to get investors comfortable with you being the QB of the team!!!
