Not sure if it can help change our luck with the city) 

Check out the chart showing the fast rent growth and declining rent growth cities, which could help inform your decision on growth markets. 

I have a client in Kansas City that looks for very similar deals in his market.

I would check some of the sub markets 15-40 minutes from Raleigh city center that still benefits from the Raleigh economy.- Everyone's situation and goals are different but I would assume there are a few quality markets within an hour of where you are located in Florida that would check a lot of your boxes. 

We are in the top 10 fastest growing big cities right now, so families and singles are constantly flying in to check out the area.Raleigh allows short term rentals if you apply for a license.

While I've made several investments independently, what sets SDIRA Wealth apart for me is their competitive pricing, focus on new construction, and access to markets with better performance compared to my local area in New York.

What if the city finds out? 

When wholesaling vacant residential land (city lots or larger residential parcel in rural areas) how long is the due diligence period?

I got a call from the Warren City hall and they reported pipes bursting and the whole driveway is flooded on initial reports.

That's because the city won't calculate the actual amount till a structure is built, aka it's not just a plot of land anymore.This will obvious cause your property tax bill to go up and also your mortgage escrow account as well (sometimes these things can make your mortgage shoot up a few hundred a month).
