There's plenty of food for us all to eat, but you do have to work hard/smart to get it.If you have any questions you can always reach me on my cell phone.

But you still need to do your research as you do not want to end up with an old gas station with an EPA lien or a parcel that is landlocked with no access.

Generally these days most things that are getting built are warehouses for distribution so you might look at putting together an assemblage of small parcels around it to do that.Also, another thing for you to look into.

Hey Folks,Looking at an otherwise solid REO buy (for flip) on what appears to be a corner lot- come to find out the yard "on the corner" is a parcel owned by the next door neighbor and is "possibly contaminated"... former laundry mat burned down there some 15-20 years ago and between back taxes and possible contamination, it hasn't been touched.

The square footage of building you added to the parcel will be taxed at its current value. 

Or they can stay with me and save money, cook their food, do their laundry, etc.20 years from now, I'll probably make less money but my wife and I will have zero percent of work to do with the rentals. 

Make some life adjustments and build a budget on needs (food, shelter, etc..) not wants (cable TV, the next IPhone).Then do it and show your family and friends with a plan.

I've already located the owners name and address on the NCC parcels site and want to send him a yellow letter in the coming weeks.In regards to Philly, I've been heard Germantown, Strawberry Mansion and neighborhoods in West Philly could be some up and coming areas. 

I am buying 8 acres located behind my property that will give me a 12-acre parcel in total.

It is a business expense you'll need to provide same as electricity and water.When you order food at a restaurant, does it come with a plate and silverware, or are you supposed to bring your own?
