What you want is an agent with experience who knows how to negotiate, watch your back, navigate difficult situations, understand contracts and law, provides an objective cross-check, etc.

I'm not sure where your market is but I could help look at land costs. we are trying to educate building to rent or building investment properties as a new strategy to just buying the garbage new builds around the country. this fits on lots as small as 3500 square feet. you'd have to check local zoning but if I had what you had that's what I'd do or at least look into it. 

After a year or two we intend to buy a larger property in the same area and partner with some friends on it but I do believe a boots on the ground person employed only by you is KEY to executing anything if you are not in the country yourself.

It's getting insane down in that part of the country. 

All the rest live in other states or countries.

My wife is from a country that does not allow lending or loans to acquire housing.

I work with many military and out-of-country investors to create a portfolio with turn-key single-family homes and manage on the back end, making it hands-free for the investor. 

Fingers crossed!! 

As a side note the "Median" rents for the whole country are on a HUD website and is updated every year to the new rent levels, so you can see how your rents compare to the HUD Median rents. 

@Shayan Sameer I don't have any experience in Ohio but I've had a ton of my clients be successful here in the southern/middle part of the country.
