Hey Chris,Thanks for your idea!

Do you have an idea of what your time horizon is for your investment plan?

Yeah there are some cool ideas here, but I do believe she is skirting some local permit laws.

That’s why you’re not seeing these properties listed as tax liens you can buy.But you’ve still got a few angles to work with:Check with the county tax office – Some properties slip through the cracks and don’t hit the auction list right away.

Still, you may not have to submit your tax returns. more info would be needed to know for sure, reach out to a seasoned loan officer for pre-approval and see if your situation would allow for this. 

I found the key is to go into one of the local Secretary of States offices. 

Here’s some advice to consider for your first home and cash flow strategy:Using your property as a short-term rental during the baseball season is a smart idea.

From what I hear it is low, but still there.Keep in mind your loan will likely get sold, so you need to do more due diligence other than what a loan officer is telling you.

The local who lives there but commutes 30-60 min to another community because they can’t find a job to support their family in their town.That same local knows that a 4plex would be great on that lot that’s been vacant for 20 years and that there are at least 4 families who could benefit greatly from that development.That local knows that Ryan’s plumbing and Katie’s electrical companies that service 75% of the town really needs a new flex space to use as a shop, storage, and parking for their business so that they aren’t working out of their garage and can hire a couple of locals to work with them at the office and in the field.Development is different in our small towns but if locals aren’t the ones doing it, and developers aren’t coming, what happens to our kids futures?

While I think neighborhood farming is a good idea, I'd say instead of doing it geographically, think about who is most likely to move in your community.
