If there is a different forum that is a better fit for this post, please let me know.The driveway is steep and gravel, and our handyman/cleaner (who worked for the previous owner and knows the house and its history well) suggested we have concrete poured to help with guests spinning out / getting stuck.

Not to say it's not possible or even imprudent, but that's WHY spinning up to 17 units is often a less tumultuous path.Back to the opportunity at hand:  If these are new construction homes then they should be low maintenance (but verify that with excellent inspections). 

Your head will spin with some of the offers you get, near free $. 

Your head is spinning.

I have been spinning my wheels for a while trying to figure it out!

If you're still spinning your wheels, ask others in the group what or who had the most profound impact on them.

Now if you are wholesaling and looking to spin deals to other guys maybe looking to hold and make some money in between then that might not be bad to look at but they are far and few.

You could look at a property and not know you can't get good financing on it and spin your wheels in time and tens of thousands in costs to have a failed property purchase.

SEO is best bang for your buck no matter how you spin it.The downside on SEO is that it takes time.So the best strategy is getting a website, make it absolutely credible, then drive paid traffic to it for instant returns.

Please forgive me if I do not fully understand some of your response, my head is spinning from over analyzing the situation.I realize that I will have an appraisal done regardless.
