Especially in Iowa when it is 0 degrees and 30 mile per hour winds.These properties we are doing have the Teak component, but they all have secondary values with locations, building sites, phone/internet reception, water, palm trees, fruit trees etc. 

Hi! What are the best resources / tools to get connected/educated on this type of asset?

The way I and others have done it is to load into Google Drive, dropbox, etc and post a link.I don't currently use those facilities.

If he's he only one in the area, you could try to do it yourself by making everything automated (such as e-locks, internet, security, laundry, etc.) 

You will need to find partners, you will need to travel to where you wish to invest, you will need to understand the ins and outs of the business by being actively involved and treating it like a business and not some super passive investment.If you don't want to do that work I suggest you just put that 200k into some sort of diversified mutual fund that can make you 10+% on your money without any of the work of real estate.At the end of the day this is just my advice and I'm only a stranger on the internet.

Typical on the Internet though.

I too at first thought it odd, that they didn't have a big internet presence, though they've been around over 6 years.

Watch what you say and accuse on the internet.

Subtract $350 for HOA dues, maybe another $400-$500 for electric and internet, and potentially water bills. 

There is no high speed internet available yet and we haven't sprung for Starlink.
