At one point, I had a deal in Beverly Hills, CA along with two other multi million dollar projects and my outgoing monthly nut was almost $100k each month!

If you are "concerned/worried about driving the area-- just call that area a D.It's a judgement call.A fish knows his own pond best (who and where to avoid on a micro scale) and some people are loads tougher than others, making a D a good fit for them.But for the more mild mannered ones, even a C might be to much. 

I mean the most direct route from A to B.Get a website.Make it credibleDo SEOFind out the cost/deal for PPC and FB adsDo both FB ads and PPC.See which one gets more and better deals.Get a highly discounted property under contract.Find a good contractorFlip that houseWith the profits, do it again.And again.Now you have 3 flips done.You should have plenty of money and experience to scale.Find a few more good contractorsFlip 2 houses at a time.Get your flipping system fine tuned.Now flip 3 houses at a time.Now you have flipped 8 housesWith all that money, experience and a crew, you can not let loose on PPC and or FB ads, and by now you should be ranking #1 because of SEONow you go nuts on the leads.

I agree things are nuts in this market.  

Maybe check with your state’s fish and game department and your state environmental protection department to see who they work with or have heard of?

I think because your ads on your own platform are free you just go nuts.

That would soup to nuts done and ready to hit the market.Now, if you do well, then maybe the landlord sees that and says I can do that and won't reup the lease.

@Sean SteeleI would not go nuts landscaping it if it’s gonna be a rental property because tenants won’t take care of it and it will be a waste of money.

If I go buy a house as an investor right now using a rent to own model- there is no way the market rent would cover the nut- investors have had a hell of a time trying to even break even these past couple years.

This is about 1 hr from the twin cities on a good popular fishing lake.
