I will keep this front of mind going into future conversations and negotiations though incase it raises other red flags!

Also you seem to be motivated to build since you already have these lots. 

One that comes to mind is Mike Curadossi...you can check him out on IG here: @section8doneright.

 @Clare Pitcher thank you I will definitely keep you in mind as I grow.

I predict that the guys who are fully leveraged and cash flowing $100 per month will be motivated sellers when the next big correction happens.actually its either them or they walk and its their lenders selling that is what happened in that time period.. and was pronounced in certain markets.for me personally  I don't want to risk  my credit and finances and borrow 75k to make 1200 a year... or even 2400 a year if its a market that has a history of no appreciation and I don't feel there is going to be any significant appreciation.. 2 to 3% a year does not cut it.but I will take 500 a month negative or 10k a month negative if I think there are huge gains at the other end.. 

Now keep in mind, median household income here in MN midwest and CA is almost exactly the same, just over $100kyr.

Reinvesting proceeds into either real estate syndications or rental real estate directly comes to mind.

In my mind, the liability and possibility of harming the seller outweigh the rewards.  

@William Taylor so many options...Use your RE knowledge to: WholesaleFind rental deals to sell to investors locally or here on BPStart leveraging your personal contacts to build your sales businessFind a motivated seller willing to do seller financing:- Move in worst room or basement, rent out all the other rooms for max cashflow- You could even live in the basement and STR the rest of the house

I think access is a major stumbling block to the Oregon coast. its just a long way from everywhere.. and the amenties as you state that are missing.Its super popular though for Oregionians no doubt.Keep in mind though from Jenner CA north through Ft.
