Do you have something in mind to purchase that a $30k downpayment will make sense?

What makes you want to buy just land?

Markets I'm interested in are the Chicago suburbs, Milwaukee suburbs, Las Vegas, and eventually Los Angeles when money permits.

"As is" means nothing to me because I would only every make an offer based on its existing condition. 

Before I looked at the deal, here's what I asked from him:The purchase and sale agreementRehab breakdown documentation2 HUD statements of previous dealsDeal info (Property profile, funding, security, repayment plan, etc.)Title company involved in the transactionWhat I also asked for was a term sheet from the hard money lender that was lending at first position.

And some months they go up, as your expenses do.Please don't make the mistake I made in one of my units.

I’m excited to make connections along the way!

There are some great mileage tracking apps out there that make it easy. 

maybe some light repairs after the tenant moves in...so your first few years after a purchase are typically stabilization, and you investing your money into the property.

For the remodel I am thinking of extending the main home (which would make it "L" shaped") to incorporate the detached carport and detached bedroom/bathroom.
