@Tucker Cummings after struggling with SMS Marketing (and Wordpress plugin), and Slybroadcasting not having all the functions I wanted, I was just about to set up a Mautic installation on Digital Ocean when I came across REI Reply. 

We talked for several minutes, then out of the blue he said he would offer seller finance if he found the right person to sell to.

A state like California that has ocean, wooded forests, flat land that would be good farm land if it were not for water issues, and hot, dry desert all within a single state has many different markets.  

You'll need a realtor for the lease up, you'll need a background check service, I would place a Blue I Box so only realtor can access with a rental prequalified tenant. 

I live in the markets you are talking about a good friend lives full time just north of Blue ridge i'm over there all the time.

SupplyLas Vegas is unique because it is a tiny island of privately owned land in an ocean of federal land.

You can however, build with ocean views, within walking distance or even over the sea on pilings.

@Tom Hall I’m in South Jersey, Ocean and Burlington counties and lower.

@Sheryl Black You can do "white collar" work not "blue collar" work. 

note our mission beach units do not need a golf cart because 4 houses from ocean and 3 short blocks from Belmont Park.
