The next 2 offers started a bidding war I got over asking with inspection for information only . 

PS I’m all for buying real estate , but we know that having a  job can be a blessing for many people starting out. 

The first and most important step is to post the 10 day demand for rent letter to get the clock started.

So many strategies available to you to start out with, a big part of it depends on if you are looking to be hands on or continuing to pursue other opportunities at the same time. 

But We plan to build a deck on the land to start and then make it an easy place to camp on the land.

Hi I’m just starting out on this journey.

Have they started building yet? 

Don't be paralyzed thinking you don't know enough to get started.

@Luis Cerwin as others have stated, Nov - Jan is the worst time of year to have a vacancy.Majority of tenants live paycheck-to-paycheck, so all their income goes to Holiday spending starting with Halloween, then Thanksgiving, then xmas, then NYE.January is also historically the worst month for rent payments due to Holiday Hangover Spending.

Each of your homes will start at a lower cost basis and you will get slightly less depreciation each year to offset but you have spread that depreciation over multiple properties so now selling any one property will result in less impact on taxes than just selling your first without a 1031.
