Even tried craigslist and local paper once.

Hey, even a broken clock is right twice a day, right. 

I have lived in Truckee for over 23 years and understand the pain you can go through dealing with a local government where the answer you received on Monday is different than the answer you receive on Tues, Wed, Thur & maybe even Friday if anyone is working.

very high risk even I only do them with very specific investors in mind and a plan. we dont flip land we develop every one. 

But the competition is high so cash flow or even break even can be an unphill battle unless you're willing to put money into the property.

At this point, I'm not so concerned about achieving that exactly, but if my REI journey takes me there on my way to (or even after) financial freedom, then I'm all for it.There's still some work to do to prepare financially for "the first deal" and that moment legitimately appears to be about 2 years away. 

My main concern is the interest rates being so high now as to whether what I'm hoping to achieve is really even possible. 

Update to my previous post (the update button didn't seem to do anything for me).Their customer support team was able to help me get my account back, even though the email made it seem otherwise.

The market has a lot of strong points right now: affordable entry prices, great rent-to-price ratios, and high demand for rentals, especially in the Section 8 space.What’s even more exciting is the direction Detroit is heading.

You could trim your expenses by eliminating property management - you can absolutely do this yourself on a 6-unit, even as a newbie.
