There were a tremendous amount of unneeded homes built leading up to the crash of 08' Sure this property isn't an income producing asset at the moment but if you had an interest in livestock farming you could definitely generate an income to live on/pay property taxes if the farm is already paid for.

When the crash hit in 2007-10 we had interests spread across Europe, Asia and USA.

I know this was very doable before the crash but they seem to be hard to come by right now.
