Getting a househack helps you understand if RE investing is right for you, gives you first hand experience at your doorstep, and starts to churns those wheels inside your head with your next move. 

By the time basement had 2-4 inch water and started flowing on carpets.

Concrete$676,1336 inch Cubic yards, framed, poured, sawn,Retention Pondif needed, part of dirt work cost, less land for buildingsLandscaping$5,000I like trees and bushes.

I typically attend 5-6 REI events in CHS every month.As someone else mentioned, househacking is probably one of the best paths into the game when youre getting started.Message me if I can help.

I am not trying to reinvent the wheel and looking for a format.

@Matt W.Four inches is a lot.

You mow the lawn, plant trees, make a garden, and work hard to make sure that every inch of your property looks beautiful.

Dirt road wont cut it.. you will need at the very least gravel and depending on soil type you may need to put down big rock first like 3 inch then build a base of 1 inch minus on top of it so you dont sink. 

I bought a 39' fifth wheel last year and it took me 6 months to find a spot; and I was on 6 different waiting lists.
