The local who lives there but commutes 30-60 min to another community because they can’t find a job to support their family in their town.That same local knows that a 4plex would be great on that lot that’s been vacant for 20 years and that there are at least 4 families who could benefit greatly from that development.That local knows that Ryan’s plumbing and Katie’s electrical companies that service 75% of the town really needs a new flex space to use as a shop, storage, and parking for their business so that they aren’t working out of their garage and can hire a couple of locals to work with them at the office and in the field.Development is different in our small towns but if locals aren’t the ones doing it, and developers aren’t coming, what happens to our kids futures?

If you aren't familiar with or aren't paying attention to the FEMA 50% Rule...educate yourself on it.

And then at the event they upsold them other educations and once they sold everything they could sell..

You aren't in the area to view other homes and see what's happening in the market.

I also got great value from a very expensive course on how to properly buy & manage residential real estate.Regardless of cost, the ones that offered low value were the ones where the founder wanted to sell education as their main business. 

Hi All,My name is Michelle, I am a local long term SFH real estate investor in South Florida and am wanting to add on Section 8 investing in Detroit, Michigan.I currently am not knowledgeable on Section 8, but am educating myself.I am looking to connect with other Section 8 investors to see how they got started along with what resources they used to look at market trends, how to pick the specific hot bed to invest in Section 8, and advice I may need to know.Thank you in advance.

Plus, if they're THAT good, why aren't they raking in the big bucks from doing the business on their own?

Curious if anyone has done that since land loans aren't great terms.

How should I use my family ties and education to make the most out of investing in land?

Find out what they offer as far as education and support, what their fees/splits are and what their expectations might be.Remember, you will need a certain amount of continuing education hours, and you will want a Brokerage that has the support you need to help you through your contracts and answer questions.
