Or talked to owners of an existing one that looks like it is from the 90s to see if they would like to sell?

I suppose they would be able to help me figure it out but I’m still trying to determine what is the best way to fund something like this and would it be better to sell off the entire purchase once split into separate parcels or is there a way to structure a deal as to where I could sell off some of the land to repay the loan/investors and also retain a portion of it to develop with my own short term rentals.

If you do sell, a 1031 exchange can help defer taxes.Good luck! 

The day I received my RE license my wife said “so when are you going to sell your first house”?

Then sell the property and start doing fix and flip or fix and rent. ( I prefer to sell this property as it 100km away from my student rentals. ) Not sure if I should renovate the lower unit to sell.

Cleveland is cash flow, we do build to rent in columbus urban infill where prices are the highest and land prices make sense. rents are good and on a DSCR can pull out cash and do again. easy scalable strategy and sell the portfolio eventually 1031 into something greater.

If someone dramatically overpaid in the peak of 2022 and didn't sell in 2023 when rates were at their highest than the chances are they will be fine in the coming year.

Don’t make an offer knowing you may not be able to sell the property to a cash buyer.

I saw this for sell by owner on Craig's List.

@Eric Smith, It really doesn't matter who you are selling your property to - unrelated or related party.
