The key is to find a future growth market, get in early, and ride the wave. 

It has a 2,100sf home on the property, horse barn, pasture, rodeo ring, and backs up to a small body of water.

Again, lower your expectations.Good luck  Just spent a few hours stalking the new properties we brought to our PM book.Bloody nora mate, hard to believe what folks are buying and where and for how much 🤷‍♂️First time in 10+ years that I actually started getting worried a bit about our market.I mean, we are talking D class stuff selling for $80,000+All off the MLS also.Toledo got some sexy PR this year but this is insane.Can't sell turnkey in B class for sub $100,000 if my life depended on it.But D class run down $%#@ off the MLS selling for $80,000 all day long.And some solid comps to support this $#%@ also...PM is booming so we will ride the wave.Surfs up 🏄What a shame though....

Assemble as much money as is reasonable, be prepared and enjoy the ride.
