If I click on the last one, it appears to be part of Bank of America now.

@Jay Hinrichs The land is actually in Peru, South America.

@Sandy Hu I used to have several with Bank of America but in the down economy they bailed on all of them.

Check the short term vacation rental options in the area- Extended Stay America, Airbnb, VRBO etc. and undercut them initially to ensure you can build reviews and a brand. 

Of those that stick around, 80% of them only sell 20% of the homes and the average income for an agent is less than the average income in America...and that's before deducting expenses like fuel, marketing, office fees, licensing fees, board fees, etc.

Finally, we realized that we were in one of the best cash-flow rental markets in America and decided to go ahead with getting into real estate through fixer-uppers.

Ah yes, that magical time of year when I get to teach my kids about America and the power of Capitalism!

It's not Bank of America, after all.

Well...the Dayton Dragons baseball team has the most consistent sold out games of any sporting team in North America (startling fact), Warped Wing opened a second location, and a half dozen other breweries are now open in the city...Boston Stoker coffee is totally awesome and has several new locations (this is important because it's a key indicator for the successful revitalization of many cities...beer-food-coffee is key)...there is a river front development that is reminiscent of Columbus (which was awarded best on the country), there is big inner-city revitalization...I saw a developer by the name of Simms pre-sell 24 $500k "Brownstone" townhouses in the center of downtown (unheard of in Dayton)...there are 30 renovation projects going on downtown...and they now have a full time staff on the streets to keep the city clean...the population is on the increase for the first time since 1964....I mean this is pretty superficial, but it's every bit as important as economic indicators...there is a lot more to this...There are still "war zones" in abundance in Dayton and it's the Opiate Overdose capital of the USA...but getting better rapidly...just proceed with caution if you elect to invest there...a local subject matter expert is a must!

To make it a little more complicated, in the next 3-4 years, we'd like to move to Central America for mission work.
