The reason I say this is the more yield you get the more things you will have to take on.As an example being an investor myself and a commercial broker as well my clients typically fall into 2 buckets.One is triple net leasing where you are buying a property with 10 to 30% down depending on what it is (bank, pharmacy, dollar store, restaurant, gas station, etc.)

Think my wife might have hidden it.Steve it seems if anything perhaps the sports car allocation is to light :D Most of my gold, silver, investment grade gems and jewelry fall in the 5% that I can' find.

Even if you offer the 75k, they accept it and then you dump the contract, at least then you know what to resubmit at when you get your ducks in a row.Granted, this is a great learning experience, but it's almost like a 8th grade writing assignment I had about what I'd do if if i won the lottery.

In 8th grade I finally got fed up with it and one time when I got picked on I picked up a "big wheel" (remember those) and threw it at the guy's head.

Is this simply a case of poor drainage that could be corrected by superficial grading/compaction/and or drainage via a swale or pipes?

RE is not a graded bond investment, the NPV of estimated income in small RE , such as one to four units is only as good as the accuracy of the data (your proforma) used.

I'd grade it a little higher than C+/B-.

SO, I tend to look at land as a savings account, if the property is in a good location, buildable, decent grading, etc, then it probably wont lose value, but increase steadily as time goes on. 

A and B grade neighborhoods like Raytown, Independence, and especially Grandview have been appreciating for some time now.

I decided to do some research on neighborhoods which brought me back to forum posts on Bigger Pockets.I learned that the letter grades vary by area, can sometimes be more of an art than a science, and are easier to nail down for multifamilies.But here’s some characteristics:“A” Class properties are in newer growth areas, are in nice neighborhoods, are newer properties built within the last 15 years with the most amenities.
