Is there a vision that any others will become shareholders (or be granted grant options to acquire shares) in the company in the future?

Hi BP, Does anyone have experience using Land Vision (digmap.com). 

The book has more tips about raising capital and I think it helped me raise my vision of what is possible in  real estate.

It really gives perspective on how far away the viewing station is.The amazing thing about Crazy Horse is the story it tells about commitment and vision.

lol its great to plan very good job, now lets move on from speculation and vision and start learning the different markets on a national then state then local level once youve learned the hottest markets to invest in right now then you can start pulling the trigger on cashflow properties, or you can just invest passively with someone you trust

My goal is to fix up the empty houses around me and possibly rent them out or wholesale them to other investors who have my same vision.

See if there is anyone out there that shares your goals and vision and ask the tough questions upfront.I would look up NARPM and start with them..Below are some questions I would think would be a good starting point for you to see who really treats their company like a business or a hobby.Questions to Ask prospective management companiesWhat are your average days on market for vacant homes?

I think your vision statement in your response was narrow.

What sets my vision apart is just that: vision.

If flying over is not an option for you,, I think you have no choice but to wait the 6 months out and get yourself ready with all the peripherals - solidify your plan of action and market,  reach out to potential partners and suppliers, research financing options, insurance, management etc etc- so when you do finally get there- you can hit the ground running.The other option that I am now  getting more involved in slowly - is online  crowdfunding - A lot less hands on- but far more doable long distance.All the best
