It has nat. gas at the site, but the gov't wouldn't let us connect. 

I’m even considering buying thick rugs to give the tenants above but even that sucks to have to tell tenants what they need in their home.I really love the community on this site.

Is there any good resource with links to the relevant sites in particular states/counties?

I'm on a call now and they same decent and honest, but some reviews on here and other sites are a bit concerning.

I would also look at the availability of public water and public sewer, if not at the site how far away are those services.

you have to learn land entitlement. we identified a site today for hotel development that was an 18000 sq ft lot.

Go on furnishedfinder.com and airbnb.com to find what is available on those sites for a traveler.

I bet you were floored when the person ordered every package you had to offer!!

Their solution was for me to take over ownership of not one but five homes from Jeff's portfolio, all of which I had sold him and subsequently leased.Despite my being patently unfinanceable, the bank president placed a bet on me because I knew the homes, I knew the tenants, I knew what I was doing, and I was rabidly hungry.

I would bet the solution lies in your answers to those last three questions.
