Sometimes, buying an existing property can be more cost-effective and less time-consuming and maybe require slightly less permits, etc. 

One of the criteria is that the filer has paid the property tax on the property for the given time.

If you really hustle and are smarter than the average bear, you may make enough money that you can buy an investment property.

One with low cash, one with some owner financing and a little less price. 

It’s not always pleasant but you have your expenses on the property too, right? 

Communities like Stanton, Brownsville, and even parts of Memphis will experience an uptick in property values and new construction.

Anyone that is looking at your assets is always going to need to factor in property management, so you can show that as a real expense (and really make it as high or low as you want).I work in a vertically integrated real estate and development company, and I cannot imagine how things would run if we did not have an internal property management company that essentially works for the other companies but also stands on its own.

However, you have to be extremely careful financing 100% of the transaction as you still need reserves, closing costs, etc. and make sure it cash flows.You didn't mention if this would be a rental or owner occupied.
