It can provide financial relief and combat loneliness, fostering a sense of community.

My company provides foreclosure funding.. its a very select group I  do this with and I dont advertise it lest my phone gets blown up..

I believe the time to purchase a rent ready property and have decent cash flow on day 1 is past, at least in the near term.  

An IRS lien, code violations (weed abatement, grass cutting, boarding windows-doors, and demolition costs), HOA fees, water- sewer bills all go along with the property providing the property has any of these. 

After I close I will still have 30k in immediate cash and I have stock market investments that are another 30k, so even more frustrating that it's not even a monetary issue

Bipin provided his log showing that the person signing started to sign my name, then crossed it out and signed as Garrett Neal.

I waited until I was going to move to do the major renovations to conserve cash.

Models continue to improve and use cases also continue to improve - personally does not take out human factor - to me it just is a way to provide more data points to review. 

If I'm understanding correctly, for a cash refinance...If you buy an investment property, fix/repair it, and get a higher appraisal, you can then take the $ difference and put a down payment on another investment, etc.If so, are there tax implications with a cash refinance?

Hopefully you did not pay too much for the dirt. 1 acre is optimal these days because of desired double to triple drive thru for QSR.It can become a problem because if they make the building smaller you get less rent but they do more sales.Example a QSR used to be 3,000 to 4,000 sq ft but now instead wants double drive thru's as not many go inside for fast food like pre-covid.If you get 1,000 a foot less at 30 a foot you just lost 30k NOI and now at 5 cap example paying all cash NNN once developed you have lost 600k value.It can fine as long as you do not overpay for the land.
