@Steve Vaughan  agreed very slippery slope... we all hear about Hewlit and Packard starting in a garage with 15k of credit cards in the early days... and well look where they ended up.. so who knows.. but it sure is a gamble.

IMHO,  whats important is to walk the property, otherwise, you are taking a vegas gamble with not being able to see the inside. 

Every time a tenant moved out 3 out of 8 evictions or so, it felt like a gamble, with someone leaving the place in ruins. 

Moreover, our spacious yard, characteristic of our corner property, contributed to minimizing any potential disturbances.

my problem is I have not found anyone who will look at the deal until i have it under contract so I dont know how it will go and I am speculating as to what I think it will go for.I don't have 500 or a 1000 to lose on a gamble.

I think it's fine to risk a small portion of your net worth on a gamble, but everything else means betting the farm.Speaking of farm, here are 50 acres in Hilsboro for $3M https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/NW-West-Union-Rd-Hillsbor...Dang, maybe if I..?

One can fine tune one’s stock characteristics far more easily than one can one’s real estate’s characteristics.I noticed you ran right away from the fact that real estate traps you into a vulnerable position regarding economically ignorant people and those who cater to them.

Google street and sat view are only your friends to eliminate property....not to determine what you will buy....I swear up and down to people all the time...go look at what you plan to buy.....don't gamble. 

Each with their own advantages and drawbacks.The point I am trying to convey for so long here on the forums is simply this.Yes there are different systems with different advanteges ansd disadvantages, but within the realm of these different strategies there are still different catagories.You have inbound marketing and you have outbound marketing.PER DEFINITION, as in an inherent characteristic of motivated sellers is that it is not possible to target them, simply because there is no way of knowing when someone becomes motivated.Is being is a horrible foreclosure scenarion make you motivated? 

@Raphael Braschoss There is no "we think we can subdivide"....You either can or can't depending on the zoning and parcel characteristics.
