The 10 acres are about 90% planted pine (the previous owner planted it).

This not only helps me spread my money wisely but also eliminates the need for me to handle the day-to-day management tasks or hire someone to do so.Currently, I am investing in a mobile home park, several apartment complexes across the United States, and even a manufacturing plant.

Hi @Vincent Plant,You've gotten some great advice on what to look for in a hard money loan.

Great post @Garrett Brown, we have a vibey outdoor hang with string lights, plants and seating by a mini gas fire pit.

Even though interest rates are high, we have a big Mircron plant coming here as part of the CHIPS act so that could boost housing demand in the coming years.I don't know the SYR market, but I did a quick search for duplexes somewhat outside of the city, and found this: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/7300-Lakes....

Close to the Intel Plant.

I know out here on the West coast with our digitalized title plants that each title company has it would be a matter of a few clicks for customer service department to transmit a copy of the mortgage to me..

We have had duplexes with shared water, sewer, and trash billing, as well as shared driveways.The long term tenants act more like owner occupants, planting flowers, etc. and in some cases neighbors think that they are the owners. 

@Pranav Patel, as others have said, the best time to plant a tree is yesterday. 

Proximity to mass transit (mentioned by another poster re following them), proximity to downtown (maybe not so much now with work-from-home being a thing), proximity to airports, highways, pollution-belching industrial plants, hospitals, universities, the lake, etc., all help to define which South side neighborhoods have what it takes to overcome market inefficiencies and become "up and coming."
