Starting from the ground floor, I'm okay with taking "baby steps" as I go along.

I have bought timber ground in those areas and it took years to resell... just stick to your tried and true methods of buying deep discount.. check DOM for the area and don't over pay.

Have you done a Phase 1 survey ? 

Be care, due your homework and get good partners on the ground.

We have built up equity in the current house but it is not paid out yet.We were looking to move to a bigger house, but I am going through the dilemma phase right now considering new house pricing is around 135 per sft in this area.Renting out the current house is not going to be an issue as I am confident about the cash flow.Having said that, I have to look into what you suggested.

I'm looking for middle class tenants with a slightly lower cash flow rate but I'm willing to sacrifice that since I will be a long distance landlord with some friends and family as my boots on the ground.  

hi thereI am trying to piece a hard money deal together to do a flip in Delco or Chester county, it's really tough out here to find a good REO with money on the end for me after all the expenses from such a loan (points interest and fees closing costs)Would love to connect with someone locally to get some more boots on the ground and relationships that we can benefit each other. 

Finding a great property mgt team will be key for you if you do move forward after a careful due diligence phase.  

She was responsible for everything under the house but everything under the ground was the responsibility of the park.

I would be careful about investing from a distance in the Twin Cities unless you know the market well, or have someone on the ground.
