Also, below are some ideas I've had.It seems to make sense to start with a list of people in my ideal area that have owned land for a long time and are not actively using it.   

how long to make that back? 

Hey community, i have a question which has been on my mind as an investor for long.

On REOs, HUDs, VAs and other you can get inside but most of the time the utilities are shut off, and heat has been off for a long time at least one winter, in some cases more than one winter and are possible freeze damage to water pipes, hot water heat pipes and even boilers/hotwater heaters. 

Long story short, they recommend a process that basically looks like...Soil scientist --> (septic engineer IF needed) --> site plan --> county approval...We've spoken to a few soil scientists and they all quote 2k-5k to analyze the property for an appropriately sized septic system. 

As long as your kitchen and bathrooms are in good condition and functional, there’s no significant ROI in fully renovating them.

With rising interest rates and the widening wealth gap, first-time homebuyers are by locked out of the housing market, it seems long-term rental demand is solid but of course it would be important to get quality tenants in the better parts of town.

It serves many benefits for both buyers and sellers and if a law had been passed long ago that all such private transactions were required to be serviced through a thrid party, we would not have as much regulation addressing the issues we have today, specifically, the individual investors under the SAFE Act!

. , and now wondering what the process might be for acquiring something there, where it might make the most sense, and if the numbers check out in the short and potentially long term.I'd love to connect with anyone who can offer any advice or thoughts would really be tremendous.

We originally hoped to rent as a mid term rental in a smaller town with a hospital, but the market quickly became oversaturated for the small demand so we decided to shift to long term rentals on both sides.
