Tim, thank you so much for the thoughtful response here.

Thanks for your thoughts.

We sold one for $257k in cash and are holding the other one as a rental.I’m curious about others’ thoughts on build-to-rent (BTR) projects, especially on infill lots.

Quote from @Deltrease Hart-Anderson: What are your thoughts on putting new construction in a B+/C- neighborhood?

👋 Good thoughts Alice.

What about if you set up a maintenance company that maintains all of the properties, then you have a real estate attorney prepare all of the lease agreements.

Post on local Facebook pages for contractor referrals, go to local REIAs, and ask your potential agents and PMs (even if not using a PM at first...you may at some point).There is only so much that service providers can do and many of them are far from "experts"; so, be prepared to be your own expert at being willing to figure stuff out as you move forward.

A less then full investigation may result in one thinking that the house and or the house and tennis court lots were what was being sold.As I later found out, a newbie tax lien investor thought they were getting a great bargain by outbidding other misinformed investors and paying the back taxes, legal fees, and an additional $34,000 (overage) which the county forwarded to me.  

I know I can't be the only one who has had this setup before, so I am just looking for thoughts, advice, experience, etc.

I know this is more of an open-ended discussion than a specific question, but I’d love to hear your thoughts.
