Sounds like mostly a marketing thing from what I just read.

My market is houston text.

"Develop" it as a place for the folks from the city to bring their rv. this is one of the easiest ways to transform 'junk' land/wetland/'too small to build'-- into something of value, just by (marketing) -finding the right buyer who looks at it differently. 

Marketing = momentum.

Finding deals outside of California can definitely open up new opportunities, especially given the cost of living and market dynamics in the state.When looking for properties in other states, consider focusing on areas with strong rental demand, economic growth, and population increase.

There are only 2 ways, as I see it in the current market, to get actual income/cash flow from a rental property - a paid off long term/mid term property or a well bought short term or rent by the room rental.

If you like where you live, I would explore investing in a cheaper out-of-state market. 

Educate yourself on the local market, network with other investors and agents, and always have a solid plan in place before making any investments.

The price we thought was very reasonable in this current market based off the other properties we have seen prior to that with similar layouts. 

When the reference was written it was valid but since then ISSUES have come to light and I NOT LONGER WISH TO BE ASSOCIATED with this current reference!
