I’ve always focused on quality over quantity.  

Obtaining the type/quantity of land we would like to settle on at this point in our lives is not really feasible (i.e. several thousand acre cattle ranch).

The right idea is going to be the bread and butter.1) Ideal location2) Quality properties over quantity of properties3) 1.25x DSCR4) Intention to hold no less than 8, but ideally 12+ years.5) Sufficient cap reserves6) Mechanisms to enhance cash flow(via alt investing or house strategies).7) Liability protection through no PG loans(if possible), LLC formation, property management and being a diligent landlord.8) Invest deeper, before wider.Now if you're talking where to invest, different information.

I was intrigued with the prospect of buying distressed properties in bulk quantities and finding local investors who could rehab them and put them back on the market.

I know deals can be found there but the quantity is small here.

@Reeves Bennett Focus on quality over quantity. 

You mentioned in this post that you don't have time/money to do the  quantities others are doing. 

I am definitely interested - not currently an owner but have two offers out this week and actively looking to invest here - specifically Lake Harmony/JFBB area.

We buy basic soap, body wash, shampoo, and conditioner in bulk quantity on Amazon and load it in a refillable dispenser.
