Even I think I'm nuts, but the lot adjoins a property I already own and in it's current condition the vacant, vandalized, dilapidated house needing rehab is affecting not only my property value but the neighborhood.

To really contribute here, I think my best bet is to try to remember:a) Not everyone knows what I know-- no matter how basic-- and to try to share detailed information on what I've done as time permits and,b) Remember that it's not just about the nuts and bolts and the how-to, but about keeping the right attitude, and bearing in mind that my own unique way of looking at something and my own attitude and approach to life may be as big an eye-opener to another person as all the specific techniques, and strategies I use.Thanks for your time and have a wonderful biggerpockets dayDitto :beer:

You can still purchase the program but this is it in a nut shell.

With all that said... yes it can be a risk... but so is driving to go out to dinner, there are some nuts out on the road!

That used to drive me nuts with a few of the agents I used to work with.

I spent years selling contracts on junk and on foreclosures, but anymore, I like the low hanging fruit!

Driving me friggin nuts.

I'd look around for lower hanging fruit myself, (a place in much better condition, needing a lot less work for around the same price) unless you could get the place for a substantial discount, which, like I said, it appears you're not.

they worked, and took their money and invested it into apartments and homes..and now they get to enjoy the fruits of their labor...just like i take the profits from my flips and invest them into rentals,and as james plans to...it's very difficult to live on a few rentals, especially if you plan to buy more...plus, the bank wants to see additional income until you have a subsantial amount of rentals...however, if you work at it long enough, eventually you can be a buy and hold only guy, as i plan to be in a few years :)
