No current liens but these properties have tax deeds, not warranty deeds if that matters.That as-is value is going to make obtaining financing more difficult for sure.Financing options drop off pretty steeply below a certain dollar amount because foreclosure costs for lenders can be significant.Your best bet may be to connect with some local private lenders (local investor meetups/referrals are a good starting point for this) or local banks.

Looking to connect with local investors, agents, handymen, and lenders for the St Louis area.

Hi all,I recently posted about this topic and unfortunately did not receive any responses.I have recently established my land acquisition business with the goal to purchase parcels of land, either within data center opportunity zones or areas with the potential to allow for data center development, rezone the property with submitted plans, then sell to developers ‘shovel-ready’ within the various jurisdictions of the Commonwealth of Virginia.I understand there are multiple mechanisms that come into play including obtaining financing (partnering with an experienced investor), utilizing land-use attorneys, land surveying and engineering firms, appraisers, as well as approval from local planning commissions, board of supervisors, etc.Would there be any investors who are currently active in this niche?

I would suggest making sure you know your local laws.For example: In Washington state you have to disclose your rental criteria in the advertisement.

The strategic location in a growing market and the opportunity to significantly increase the property's value through renovations made it an attractive investment.

Can you help with one or few locations I can take a closer look at?

For investors, multi-family properties are great for cash flow, and local networking is key.

Local market rents are between $1400 and $1900 /mo within 2 mile radius.Two of the homes are 3 bed, 1 bath, appx 1230 sq ft, same rents as above.Each home is worth appx $265,000.

It depends on the location and surroundings... 

Where are you located?
