So while there is gentrification, you have to be realistic about timeframes and think in decades not years.

These are in expensive markets mind you, but it still seems quite rewarding.

Depending on your state laws you may have a case just based on the 54 day timeframe if you have proof of that.

you can keep saving and learning in the meantime.cycles / timeframes in RE can be longer than they're made out to be on YouTube. 

In times such as this with high interest rates, or to have a competative offer, you might offer all cash at a lower price with a short closing time frame to a seller in order to get a good deal.

I see so much opportunity out now in terms of inexpensive lots, I was just out to see one in Northern IL that looks promising in a B+ area.

They are inexpensive and are technically a very small amenity.

I know it's hard to cash flow today, especially in the A neighborhoods, but would like to hear what you think.Thanks ground up. you can get a plot of land right now and put 60 units on, I can entitle land with that amount of money and 3x the value through entitlements and sell it shovel ready or bring it as equity so much value. condo entitlement or multifamily is what I'd recommend in miami Greenfield looks like the way to go on in expensive market .... if one can find the land. 

It really depends what you want the units for (to live in, sell, rent out, etc. and what your timeframe is).

What are you going to do to change it and what is the time frame on that?
