Some of the tracts these properties are located in can be incredibly difficult to lease up and rents are usually set around affordable housing levels.

I want to search and find a GREAT deal, and get some good cash flow on a first rental before jumping into more.But tons to digest before even thinking about buying.Also, reading @BrandonTurner 's book that he just released, great wealth of information here."

The blogs here offer a lot of information in easy to digest listicles.

There's a developer in my town who buys large tracts of land, divides them, put wells and septics on them, and sells an acre lot for $38,000 with no credit check.

The education will expose you to different RE career tracts.

We personally have found that buying one property at a time is about what we can safely digest. 

For instance, I purchased two small tracts of land last year where there was a governmental agency listed as an interested party.

It is LOT of material to digest and I'm only on day 3.

Just like in 2001-2006, they are buying up farmland everywhere and turning it into tract housing.  

30 year terms - my brain didn't even digest that information as 5 years mortgage terms are all I've ever worked with.
