How certain of the appreciation are you would also play into that question.Run some scenarios on what you could do with the extra cash vs what you stand to gain from the appreciation play and decide based on that and your goals.

This is not about becoming a college or pro player.Work on (fun) physical and mental toughness with me at the house (wrestle, tackle football, physical basketball). 

If you have rental(s) or plan to get one and want to decide between long/mid and short-term rental strategies taxes do play a roll if you have high W2 income you want to try and reduce you tax burden. 

Sounds like a fun project.

I think real estate investing has always been a long play whether it be Turnkey or any other route. 

That will play a factor for qualifying.

However, I received some feedback from one of my partners that the play here would be for an investor to subdivide or re plat the land for a multiple tenant situation.

They want to pay based on what you're actually making.But I also believe that the square footage of the cabin plays a big part too.

Currently playing with the idea of buying acreage in the west burbs of Chicago and design/ building a duplex and then another and another.

A fun research trip!
