However, Matthew reminded me of my long-term investment objective and assured me that the property would appreciate, given the strong real estate market in Alabama.

A couple of my investors are looking to invest in this particular market and just looking to get an idea of the average price per acre for large rural farmland properties.

Until recently I hadn’t actually identified a market that I truly felt I could be successful in.

Suggestion: reach out to anyone marketing a unit for rent on the web, sign or newspaper.  

The reason I want to sell is there is a property on the market I am absolutely in love with and wouldn't need to upgrade a single thing.

If you want to network or ask specific questions about your local market, go to your local real estate forum and connect with investors from your area: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/86-local-real-estate-networking5.

@Charlice ArnoldI think it depends upon the market cycle.

Unfortunately for them the market at the time was slow.

Hi Varun,I've been investing and owning in the DFW markets since 2012, and foundation work is a common maintenance item. 

We negotiated based on the property's existing condition and potential post-renovation value, successfully securing a favorable deal for both parties at $100,200, enabling us to unlock its hidden value.
