The land deals have filtered down a ton too. 

I'd also like to try to purchase with a land trust or my LLC. 

@Sara Donohue I don't recommend buying land if there's not an actionable plan whereby the buyer can build.

- Land Contract would be better:)Question: how are you going to lose $2500/month if you rent?

Then you'll need to find land, acquire it, find a spec home buyer and set up meetings to design plans or buy a set online with mods.

I think build to rent is a great option if you can get cheap enough land to make it worth it.

I have done bare land and mobiles before but this is my first traditional built LTR.

The goal is to purchase it in a land trust or llc.

This will help guide your decision opposed to investing somewhere for a novel reason.for example for me it was cash flow, price to rent ratio, land lord tenant laws and availability of multi-families(Just to name a few). 

The second challenge would be finding land in a decent enough area where building a rental makes sense.
