They won't always be upfront about this with you but if know they're selling because they want to retire, that opens you up to different options vs if they're an investor just selling for profit.

This year, I’ll be sharing tips, insights, and lesser-known strategies to help you turn your housing allowance into an asset.

I know a couple people that does this, let me know if you need me to connect you. 

basically if anyone has any tips when it comes to researching plots of land in order to make the right purchase i would greatly appreciate it get with a realtor. we underwrite land at no more than 10% of after built value. in our market we build under the average new build value which is about 515k. we like to be around 420-450k and smaller footprint about 1500 sq ft with attached garages. we build close to urban core where everyone wants to live and net migrations match up. but suburban is fine. if you give more context I can help but in most markets land is a buyers market. most people aren't looking at it or buying it. 

In '23 the state set records for tourism revenues and visitors to the state, a hat tip to your point about year-round demand. 

I'm always doing this...LOL. 

This only really matters if you plan to buy a house again soon...within 9-12 months4.

One more tip – people remember stories that trigger their emotions.

@Jonathan LudizacaFrom a lender's perspective, starting in 1-4 units gives you experience and many more lenders will be open to first time flippers in this space versus multifamily. 

This is one strategy I used.
