I assume you are asking about buying the property itself.

.: I’m looking at a property that checks all the boxes—good numbers and fits my buy box—but I haven’t seen it in person.

@Rory DarcyRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

Then you'll need to find land, acquire it, find a spec home buyer and set up meetings to design plans or buy a set online with mods.

If you are buying good properties you shouldn't ever need a property to carry another property.

@John Lasheri agree with you, you'd be surprised at how many people listen to Grant Cardone though, and decide that they're going to go buy a 100 unit with 'OPM' as their first deal and quit their job.i think buying something of that size with a few partners is a perfectly good goal. 

Quote from @Jerem Kaawaloa: I have spent the past 20 years working in health care and have only ever purchased properties for my own use, including a home and office.

I'm in Chesterfield as well, looking to buy.   

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.
