I also prefer tile or metal roofs over asphalt, but sometime that’s not an option. 

My plan this morning is to offer the people $10 for each shopping cart filled with trash onto the pavement of the parking lot.

The exterior lawn and pavement could use some touches but it looks like I could make around $900-1000 in monthly rent income.

By the time you pay for your land, grading, permits, utilities, mechanical trades, labor force, asphalt and sales/marketing there's no point in building if you're not selling ~$300k or more.

For example, some lenders may require you already own and operate a similar asset in the same market wherein you are buying the subject property, some may require a minimum number of spaces, some will have pavement requirements.

There is about 1,000 lineal feet of water and sewer lines to be run, electric to be dragged (along with additional transformers installed), curb/gutter, and asphalt roads to install.

The article contains a PDF of the plan that shows a map with the different areas and the proposed sequencing based on cost, density, and pavement age.

The parcel comes off of a extra territorial road maintained by the county, and it is asphalt.

But as I've learned in the last 2 years, the best thing is to start pounding the pavement, talking to lenders, insurers, contractors, landlords, and go take action! 

Anticipating a rehab of budget of $25,000 (based on colleagues of mine experience on ranches of this size in that area) I was ready to hit the pavement.
