Squatters are a real problem nationally and a study found that they target not only vacant properties but those advertised for rent or sale that offer 'immediate occupancy.' 

With the two lots together they could be sold for 50-75k.. im doing research all day everyday to learn more and more about real estate investing.. so much that im nearly on the verge of divorce.

We pride ourselves in keeping the forums positive, helpful, and focused on real estate (please, no politics, religion, etc.).

If your comps were sold by a real estate agent and you are using them to justify your price, that is like trying to sell your car at a car salesman's price instead of an owner's price.In any case, if you need to lower the price, make sure that the price drop is a decent amount versus a "drop in the bucket."

I also recommend that you attend some local real estate investment meetup groups.

Real crap! 

Moreover, office spaces often face more competition, especially with the rise of remote work and changing demand in the market.On a personal level, I prefer industrial real estate for several reasons.

Quote from @Daniel Saravia: anybody here had bought real estate using self directed IRA?

The sale and acquisition closing benefits are real and material.  

There are plenty of varying job opportunities in the real estate industry.Ask yourself: What skills do you have?
