I'm not even going to tackle the "how" question.

I do have enough time after my studies to tackle a smaller project.

While, I don't fully understand all of the transactions about the properties in the country records, I am pulling them up.Sorry, lot of questions, tackle any one of them or all of them please. :)

I know others say "only if it's worth the time" but if you draft up your agreements well enough you can protect yourself from liability while you pursue this thing and obtain a great education.I have a lot more skills in the RE market in my area because I took the time early in my career to tackle some weird and complex cases.

I soon learned that in order for a neighborhood to be revitalized, eventually all of the players - residents, businesses and ESPECIALLY the local government - will need to be on board.IMO, you can tackle this from two angles:Pull together the local government, businesses and Investors (don't try and go this alone.

The learning curve in this business is steep (you learn quickly) -- you'll feel 100x more ready to tackle something like this after one or two projects under your belt.

I don't have a whole lot of money saved up for downpayments, so it seems the best way to go is tackling the "no money" strategies to get started.

So I put #18 under contract to give myself a new job/headache to tackle. :-)You're model is so far further along than mine, its silly.

About to switch away soon anyway and may tackle the issue again without the fear of "retaliation"...Will provide an update once something happens.

Try talking to folks who are doing what you want to do and see if it's right for you.If you decide to pursue it, keep in mind you'll be passing on deals to others which may be tempting to tackle on your own.
