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

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.

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.

I really hope they figure out a way to extend this in the future because it’s a huge benefit for real estate investors like us.

A heavily regulated market.

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

Are there companies that don't benefit from your normal expenses?

However, keep in mind that this arrangement may require more involvement from you, especially when it comes to marketing and selling the property.If you're exploring specific markets, I’d recommend looking into areas with strong demand for new homes.

This would mainly depend on the market as you said.
