This was sold to a local person who had no intention of building there, but just want to use the golf course and other amenities.There are many property owners who are trying to sell lots in Eagle Rock, and many who are letting their property go for tax sales.

Here's a few tips that I've learned along the way:- Invest in automations and technology.

Thanks for the tips Eric, super insightful and will definitely implement.

Any other tip for this newbie in the REI world?

I appreciate the tips. 

@Nate Marshall, thank you for that tip.

My thoughts are to have an investor that buys into the current equity ($200k / 2 = $100k buy-in) Home value is +/- $645k (++ golf cart and fully furnished) splitting the mortgage/utilities/upkeep expenses going forward (+/-$4700 / 2 = $2350 monthly) and split the use time of the home and all future profits 50/50.  

Any tips?
