@Jared Leggett Also remember you're still really young.

You would want to know if anything was ever built on the land (maybe a house burned down) because if there was a house then you would have potentially buried septic or oil.Buying and holding a lot for the future with topographical issues is only worth it if the price is negligible IMO.

If you don’t qualify as a real estate professional or don’t have a way to use those passive losses to offset your active income, then spending the money on the study might not be worth it.

Home now worth 550+.

It was much more stressful and not worth it IMO. 

I think it may be worth to use that 150k as multiple DP and have 2 properties. you can do that in Cincinnati with that #.

I have sold over $200 million dollars worth of these types of properties in the Cleveland / Akron market and guess what?

You can still find some events on RHAWA website and meetup.com but it's a lot smaller number.As for getting started, remember it's possible to be successful with many different strategies.

It’s worth considering if the terms work for you, but proceed cautiously and do your due diligence.
