I have seen several offers from operators around the country who are offering interest rates of sub 6% for a 30-year fixed mortgage with a 20% down payment required, NO POINTS.

a lot of new investors pick the cheapest markets in the country regardless of how far away they are, and how much knowledge they have of them, and I think that's a huge mistake. 

. :)  So with what you have raised and if you want to continue raising money you could follow the same path I did..

No way am I going to deal with the TTTs....if you can't provide that, I'll just keep looking until I find someone who will tell me they can meet my needs, anywhere in the country. 

I’m trying to weigh my options, and could use help to decide the best path forward. 

I'd love to buy up some land in the Christmas or Santiago Mountains, but I love hunting for and photographing rare snakes so that's sort of a niche use haha.The Chihuahuan desert and western mountains of Texas are no joke, it is some of the most remote, unpopulated, water-starved, but breathtakingly beautiful country in the entire US.Just FYI it's not that west Texans dislike solar or wind farms... we love money!

I work with several local Banks all over the Country on Subject to's and out of dozens I only had one who had a problem with wraps, never a Subject to, but let me say this, the investor must be educated and be able to answer questions for the Bank.

That's true in most parts of the country, but not the county we're buying in. 

Younger people today aren’t afraid of investing in any country worldwide.  

Your thoughtful approach sets you on the right path for success!
