Chris, it all really comes down to giving your money a clear purpose.

Quote from @Chris Seveney: Quote from @Blake R.: I wanted to get involved in land investing and made a post about it during the summer and have continued to look at it until now.I was questioning if I should trust a land guru in my area so I asked about it and got some feedback.So then I have searched for land investing education programs and a name was at the top on google and I saw he had a lot of information out there.I did research on him and watched a lot of his videos and it all sounded good but I heard him talk about how he now owns over 1000 doors in multi family, so I started thinking about it. 

I would agree with Chris, I would not use debt to cover all costs and then hope to get a good pop on the sale to cover all the debt, payments and still have some in the end to make a profit to do it again.

Chris, thank you for the reply.

@Chris Johansen I believe the part you're missing is you are not "simply loaning him money" under the new iteration of your partnership arrangement.

@Chris BownDid you househack it at first?

I would think about having a local broker/agent give you a BPO on it and see what the number comes back in at..Think this might be where Chris was going, but depending on your area and what sales look like in the end of the year months, usually sales are a lot slower, that might be a driving factor.
