I enjoy making a game out of saving, find new and better ways to be frugal.I also am not in debt, I am however going to get a lease on a car, because unfortanutly I need transportation to make money, and I don't have nearly enough money to buy a car outright.

That's everything, housing, food, clothing, transportation.

This includes the cost of raw land, each lot having city water meters, septic tank, electric, the transport and cost of the mobile home.The current market for selling is approx $50/sqft and rents are $900-950/mo.For a 28x76 $44k investment I'm estimating a sales price of 105-110k sales price which is a 60-65k profit per lot.On renting I would get the 28x76 for $36k.

However, I do believe this will change because of its proximity to venues mentioned above that attract many visitors to the area and ease of public transportation to the city center. 

Good location next to a large city park and public transportation (train), with street to street lot.Zoning: Currently zoned and used as 5 units.The Units: 1st floor front studio; 1st floor rear studio; 2nd floor 1-bed; 2nd floor efficiency; 3rd floor 1-bed.

Besides school public transportation and safety obviously?

My name is Sam I am a young, married, soon to be father, and currently a project manager for a large general contractor in the transportation industry.

If not the state DOT (department of transportation) usually has a site with traffic counts year over year to see if growing, stagnant, or declining.

Ease of transportation?  

And do it in an area that could potentially see some growth.If you company allows you to work remotely, I'd look to move to a much cheaper area and find a property that could deliver you some value -- low price point, high ARV, opportunity to improve, etc.Then you could work from home, househack, and have someone covering your living expenses while you also drastically reduce your transportation costs.Your 45k salary will cover the essentials and some good times for a young kid -- max your 401k and any other needs -- and the rest goes into your investments.
