I do plan on documenting my progress and have already took pictures/videos of my before.

The best way to make money is to buy in the path of progress.

It has a fallen tree on it so it would either be work-in-progress or a haul off. 

Keep us updated as you progress through this.

@Michael Hawkins looking forward reading more about the progress of this project!

I think you're in the right space, I've made more progress with real estate in the last year and five months then the last decade combined.

Looking forward to sharing progress.

I’d say if you’re looking at Memphis, build a core 4 who know the market well and they will be able to advise you on what areas are in the path of progress and what areas to avoid based on your goals.In the end, the best investment is the one you know (or can leverage other people’s knowledge).

It's been like this for years, progressively getting worse.

A hard money lender may be a better route, as some will lend you up to 90% of ARV, usually with draws involved (i.e. you can draw the funds as the project progresses, so they know they're not just giving a check to someone that hasn't done any work.)Good luck!
