Talk to @Avery Carl she's my agent and has been very helpful.FYI not all cabins close to town are R1.

I've also used city-data.com to find information about the towns I'm looking at.  

@Dave Slaughter I'm actually out of town for work right now, but I'm hoping to make the meetup at Blind Squirrel when I get back!

I have two fourplexes listed near the Medical Center and an off-market fourplex on the NE side of town near Randolph AFB if interested.

What part of town is it in? 

Forced equity is equity built through improvements, rather than by simply paying down a mortgage. 

Chief legal counsel for the local town is a tenant in my apartment building-would I give her a discount?

I think small town PA is one that is pretty good in that realm I have been funding deals through out the central and eastern part of the state in what I would call under the radar.. and they seem to work.. but my vendors are highly experienced RE brokers so they know their stuff.

Charles, Jefferson, Franklin or Warren county Missouri and you want to help with some more in depth numbers in exchange for being put at the top of the list when it comes to getting this project built I'm open to that as well.

If so you could consult a local lawyer to find out the procedures for eviction in your town.
