What about drive approaches, parking lots, site lights, landscape, irrigation, etc.? 

It drives me crazy but it does force me to 'prove it' before we spend money.

Directed marketing to pre-foreclosures, a website with seo, networking, driving for $$, go to some local meetings.

@Joel Lebovits the neighborhoods closer to the downtown area of Canton are more run down, with more vacant/distressed houses.The farther you drive away from downtown the nicer the houses get, in general.

@Wade Wisner Jacksonville has seen some significant changes over the years, with pockets of revitalization and a strong influx of new buyers driving growth.

Drive past Hornell and through Bath.

If you don't learn to manage your investment well, you will eventually destroy your property, lose money, waste your time, or drive yourself insane.

Alternatively, you're a 5 minute drive to the resort.

You can only play games for so long.Chances are your next door neighbor is an IRS agent and turns you in when your tenants blocks their drive or some other random event disturbing your IRS neighbor.ADU catches fire and your insurance won't cover you, because it was an illegal and unpermitted structure.The city inspector told the last guy not to build or rent it, and is now pissed and wants to make an example of you and just red tags the whole property and no one can occupy for the next 1-2-3 years while you wait for a hearing.Then when you get the hearing, "staff" recommends you tear the whole structure down, and if you still want an ADU, you can apply for a permit and rebuild it.Your tenant quits paying rent and won't move out and you can't evict them, because there is no valid lease and they're just your "roommate".Probably a dozen other bad things can happen to you when you do stuff like this.
