Because the pricing model is very similar to apartments though a bit more profitable, and you do not have the hassle of toilets, tenants, or trash!

The idea is similar to modern day pioneers looking for an area to build a new home in a better environment than we are currently in.My question: Does anyone have any suggestions as to how we could incorporate this lifestyle with building a real estate portfolio? 

@Kole Kingslien - @Tim Kelly closed on a deal very similar to this last year.

The home is about 100 years old and plank style construction (no studs or insulation in exterior walls).It’s looking like all in this will run about $10,000.I was wondering if anyone has gone through a similar project and what the cost was.I’m located in North East PA.

I had to do something similar with a duplex I purchased.

To be honest I had only maybe 12 followers... when I first started... now i have about 16 :)    12 of which were actually somehow my friends or people I knew... and the other 4... well... just some other typical folks in similar spectrum who are trying to dive into the world of the commercial real estate...What I found quite surprising is that a lot of folks are actually interested in my story...

They did a loan for me at that exact amount on a similar sized park in NC.

I'm in similar shoes as you are and lately have been re-shifting my focus to multifamily. 

I'm thinking Visio, LendingOne, FOAC, Ridge Lending Specialty products (I use Ridge) and similar.
