And doesnt want to have to deal with other people not cleaning up their dog mess, no noise on top of her or bottom of her. 

Doesn't sound like a quiet and peaceful place, full of partying and load noise.

Yeah I hear yah about the passive part and one day it may not be worth my time to do work myself, however I like it and I am definitely not there yet, more in the grinding stage haha.

whats normal is no answer and no return call.2. if I do get a return call ( no one answer which is a huge mistake in my mind in the sales business) then its pretty much reading from a script and pretty easy to detect.Just so many wildcatters out there pretty hard to cut through the white noise that we just give up on it.So I see this as the buyers that really have no other means to find something will put in the time to wade through it and the wholesalers many times are working with someone ALSO who is new to the game and can get away with the gross misrepresentation .. talk to 10 buyers one will not be swift enough to figure they are getting duped..

I am currently still looking into that but was wondering if anyone had any trouble with a similar issue or any problems filling units/ getting market rate rents due to proximity to a gas station (smell, noise, traffic etc.)

Definitely on that podcast grind for sure on the BiggerPockets.

If so, what type of investment - we obviously want to maintain strong cashflow and would want the next investment to be passive or to at least be a business investment that required oversight/management but not day-to-day grind.

Land for redevelopment seems to just grind along slowly.

That was certainly the slowest way to get myself out of the corporate grind.

FYI that is also not the best area its kinda sketchy at night and there is freeway noise.
