:)  We love defaulted note investing - you own nothing but are in control and can exit through the property or the borrower. if you do take a property back you can sell it outright, seller finance it, rent it or BRRR it.

I have an aunt that lived in California and worked as a traveling nurse.

Quote from @Chad Clemons: I wouldn't recommend it.Lease option can be lucrative, but you really need to know what you are doing.

I had an investor that was willing to put it under contract and then it nearly fell out when he asked for too much from the business owner.

Where are the places that I can meet someone who I can potentially work with?

We have a duplex with an extra flagpole lot that we are hoping to set up with an ADU for short term rentals.

Specifically, creating a property project timeline for work that needs to be done and when to prioritize XYZ.

That will typically spook them into catching up or chase them out.I recommend you read some books (see my signature?)

Low Lot Costs: Land prices in Griffin are exceptionally affordable.

Value adds that could bring up cashflow/value:- renovating units to bring rent up to 6-7k/month - ability to rent out parking space on the property as lot is large - trailers, parking, RVs etc - about 1-2k/month cashflow. - property had TDR trasnferable development rights and can be built 5 stories on it.
