There are alot of real estate strategy out there which will allow you to obtain a piece of property unconventionally. 

Essentially, I own 1% of a piece of land there that RAD plans on developing over the next few years.

Just a worthless piece of paper that validates a promise (legal obligation). 

Is in there, but a great thing you can do now is get your "core 4" figured out - agent/lender/manager/contractor - obviously you can adjust this and do one of the pieces yourself (self-manage for example) or don't need a contractor if you do only turnkey etc but getting this nailed down early is key

Nicholas,The one piece of advice I would give is refinance the Condo before you start renting it out. 

Basically just venting with this post, but if anyone has any advice that would help, I'm all ears. 

Also the idea that occupying a 'piece' or 'portion' of property allows for AP is flawed.

The ad revenue is a small potato piece of the pie.

A client of mine recently invested there and raves aboutt the ease of finding solid contractors who stick to the budget.One piece of advice: before jumping into any market, spend time understanding the local economy, demand drivers (like job growth and population trends), and the landloard laws.

That will be an important piece to this depending on how you plan to source your capital.
