You can check the events section of Biggerpockets or on meetup.com for more details.

Separately, I've noticed that you could build (nearly) turn-key log cabin home kits to put on these plots of lands in the 1000-1250 sq ft range for  ~100K (I say nearly as I'd be doing the roofing, some electrical/some plumbing/minor details-- I have experience with these).

Get a drop cam....that will send you photos/video when someone is in the house.   

@Greg Smith, I think I see your tenant in THIS VIDEO!

I lean on my agent for technical details/local knowledge.

Hi All,Just going through the closing cost details for property #2, and there is a line that says "Personal Rep (optional) $300"  Can anyone explain what this is and whether or not I should actually pay it?

I have been reading, listening to podcasts, and watching real estate investing videos a lot for the past few weeks.

Also, we try to group prospective tenants in a time frame of one hour, and pay a trusted person in the area to be there, unlock the door, give the prospects feature sheets and an application with details/instructions on our rental process, which we supply. 

One more detail, if I do it by myself then most of the deal (if not all) will probably be cash. 

Sounds like a good concept, but not clear on some of your details.
