Since the huge appreciation, we have seen over the past two years, a lot of investors are leveraging their equity to build a real estate empire.Hopefully, that was understandable and not too intricate.

@Dylan Katz I'm a property manager in Philly so I deal with plenty of investors and have some more intricate tax issues myself.

I'm an engineer with good income and fair credit.Where it gets intricate...the vacant lot happens to have a small residential home (1000sqft, 2-1) and horse boarding stalls, however this is not found on title report.

This situation is hard to troubleshoot unless you have heard of it before and has the potential of creating mold if you don't remediate with a dehumidifier and the tenant keeping the temp at a reasonable differential to the outside temp.Another issue is they are almost always painted wood exteriors with intricate wood molding. 

do i just pick any city and get started or is there a more intricate process to go through to choose a different market?

- is the bank have intricate specifications on what numbers they will accept before accepting MF loan ?

@James Wise your guide is great but this is slightly more intricate than what you have listed.

That way you can eliminate unnecessary costs like garages and intricate costly building practices meant to maximize builder profit.If you find a builder who can build the STVR you want for a sq ft price less than existing properties you should consider building.

Hi Alfred Green - I honestly haven't dug very deeply into the BP beginner's guide, so I can't say for sure, but I'm guessing it doesn't cover the more intricate details of land investing (simply because there are a lot of things in land that just don't apply to the more common niches in real estate).Also, SFR = Single Family ResidentialTo be honest, I don't think there are a ton of resources out there about how to specifically target land in a way that can actually make money quickly.

You can partner and give that individual equity (more intricate).
