I've had it listed for rent for a couple of days now on a few rental sites, social media, etc, but have yet to have anyone come and look at it or inquire about it.

Example:Land- .5 acres - 300kBuilding - 2200 sq ft at let's say 155 sq ft for contingency since they are saying 140= 341,000Legal costs - 50,000Grading and site work- 100,000Total Cost - 791,000NNN lease - 2200 sq ft at 30 a foot = 66,000 a year NOI66,000 / 791,000 = 8.3% cap rate to cost ( break even )Market resale estimate 6.5 cap rate = 1,015,0001,015,000 market price6% broker commission = 60,900Attorney and legal to sell = 15,000Stamps, recording fees, etc. - 10k or so (varies by state and county with costs)929,100 - 791,000 = 138,100 gross profit before long term capital gains tax of holding for more than 1 year time or deferred taxes if you 1031 exchange into something else.As you can see by the numbers this deal is too thin for all the work involved.

SFRs in the suburbs are for growing families who want to be in certain school districts--these properties will have high property taxes and be at the more expensive end of the spectrum, but you can find fixer uppers and sell them at a good price after rehab if you are patient and look deep--try auction sites like Auction.com, Williams & Williams, Xome, Hubzu.

I would like to get some tips on what are the 3 or 4 things you guys look for when you visit a property?

This iss great site to learn and exchange ideas.  

New construction costs can vary on several factors - land development, total sqft built area, on-site/off-site utilities, retention/detention area, covered/open parking, type of foundation and the list goes on.Do u have all permits from your City/County?

Both of these sites tend to list most of the sold homes in the past few years. 

This site and their podcast has already been a wealth of knowledge for me.

I have family there and visit often so it seems like a decent 'long-distance' investment location from my perspective.
