I am aware of Crexi, Bizbuysell, and Loopnet and reach out when I see something for sale on those sites.

I have seen many investors lose money due to purchasing site unseen.

Once you are on site you can decide if your $20K should be used as a downpayment on a double to house hack (to stop renting), a single to just stop renting, or a single to lease out.

If it helps, I've inserted a link to Cape Coral's permitting site below where you can check the status of work progress and inspections. 

Not a book, but Bill Faeth has a lot of free, good content on his site and YouTube videos.

This is a real estate investment forum, so you won’t find many/any people on this site who deploy that strategy.

I browsed sites today for an upcoming trip and their inventory is expanding.

There was a recent webinar, bottom line, it looks like Darryl Heller sold off many of the ATMs, didn't pay the people who put the cash in them, didn't pay the stores that have them on site, isn't providing information to David Zook's team that the court has ordered and is racking up something like $50k+ a day for not doing so...it is a complete mess and seems like there are only a fraction of the ATMs that might still be producing money but the company hired by Zook to get their hands around all of this is running into many roadblocks because Heller's team isn't providing info. 

I currently live in Southern Maine and am looking to construct some kind of new project rather getting into rehabbing existing residentialProposed Land Budget 100-200kConstruction Budget: 400kAll in 500-600k.I have found that if I do the site work myself including clearing, septic and digging the foundation is that i can sub contract out either steel or a Lester style building (50x150) for around 300k installed with insulation and power , divided into three 2500 square foot units.
