This was on Labor Day and I got a call from the neighbor with this picture.

@Terra Padgett this is awesome advice!!

I have purchased a lot once before, but this was under the expert tutelage of a builder friend of mine in a different market (Colorado).

Can experienced folks provide some inputs about the usefulness of this feature? 

Would this be suitable to get started?

IMO there are just better markets that require a much lower investment for a higher CoC return.Hope this helps!

Purchase price: $40,000 Cash invested: $16,000 Conveniently out of the flood plains, this welcoming 3-bedroom home is features a huge master bedroom, refinished hardwood floors, spacious living and dining rooms, and a stunning kitchen!

How will this affect me in the home buying process.
