I can send you a graded map of Ohio you could use as a reference on your journey!

I have access to equipment and the ability to grade the road myself.

So, they bought an OOS property (usually a freshly rehabbed A-grade house in a C or D area) because the house looked awesome in pictures, and the cashflow looked good on paper.

@Kevin Si and preferreds.. there are even investment grade preferreds than get into that range...

I'm currently in 12th grade and attend Kennesaw Mountain Highschool.

AND you must maintain adequate reserves to take care of the disasters that may happen.So my advice- build your equity.There plenty of other opportunities elsewhere, my clients are involved in institutional grade properties across the country.

I created a couple of resource materials like a neighborhood graded map and a contractor rolodex for my out-of-state investors.

.: I would highly suggest buying an existing community, it is almost always easier and more profitable unless you know what you're doing. logan the issue on the West coast is parks are treated like investment grade props and sell at a very low cap rate even in this interest rate environment. 

You want a desirable location plus with minimal sloping/grading issues and minimal trees.

I am happy to send you my neighborhood grade map to help you get started.
