On the side, I'm working on an OPM owner finance deal on 10 acres my in-laws have and want to sell us (mentioned on another thread), so we are exploring land use options to get it to pay for itself for several years before the area grows and we can build something profitable or subdivide and sell.

This is very typical of how most smaller towns in Portugal, where I lived for a couple of years growing up. 

They are a popular topic online but used very rarely in practice. 

We are invested in two very popular secondary markets for investors.

Entire property looks to be in great shape and is in a growing area near the beach (1 mile).Foreclosed in 2016, investor rehabbed one unit to make it turnkey.

We still have room to grow.

Why not start small - buy some rural vacant land for $500, sell for $1500 and keep growing your acquisition balance to where you are comfortable enough to make some other decisions?

I think at this point, it's something that I am going to have to do if I want to continue to grow.  

That would be a wise route, and would allow you to grow your bottom line quickly through the power of leverage.

I am a partner and co-founder of Blackworth Capital, a company that focuses on purchasing real estate through out Florida, and am interested in growing my business into Atlanta.
