Bonus points if you have worked with them and have personal experience.The property is in South Carolina, if that matters. 

Assuming I also use the Airstream for lodging while traveling for personal reasons, would I just take a pro-rated amount of depreciation for the amount of use that is business vs. personal?

Personal use - if you or your family used the property for personal purposes, you will need this to factored in. 

I will say unique properties can sit since you are finding the "right" person.

funds only go into interpleader after months of sitting in escrow. the court just does not hand the money to the seller either.. if not agreed upon the funds go to the state etc.

Personally, in this market, I would work on saving up and really doing my best to find a great opportunity and pull the trigger then.

Plus the average person probably finds Akron more obtainable given funds available.

I think if you leverage 70% of it you’re going to seriously cut into your cash flow and personally if I was going to have $7M in debt I’d prefer it to be spread over several projects built slowly.

i have seen many do very well getting on a team.Myself personally I would concentrate on listings 1000%  Buyers only if well knownand wont waste your time. 

Quote from @James Wise:I need to dig up a podcast that I listened to about 2 months ago with Tom Ferry, and the person was giving all the states, You are pretty close to that number on 5 days or more.. 95% range, the industry is very off kilter these days with the low activity of 2023 and 2024 that most people licensed just retired, gave up, or thought they were going to do something and never could get a sale due to bad leadership.
