There are so many ways to make money in RE (each with its own set of pros and cons), and the sooner you can identify your lane and charge down that road it'll minimize the potential to get overwhelmed by all the options.  

You're combining two completely different things.I'll explain.Lease Option: An executory agreement between buyer and seller that grants the optionee (buyer) the right to purchase the underlying piece of property identified in the option some time in the future.

Sure, they made lots of money that way, but the odds of it happening again are pretty small.If you're looking for rise in home values, buy in gentrifying areas before they start to gentrify, but that can be a difficult thing to identify.

Taxes are really low which you identified..

Once you get the list, you will then need to filter it to just find vacant land, usually there will be Use Code or similar way to identify vacant land vs other types of properties in the list.Here's a helpful blog post about the subject: http://retipster.com/delinquent-tax-list/

Only 6 units so far but it's working well enough (but I could also see how managing remotely could be very bad as there are enough headaches managing locally).Interesting note, I think Airbnb's algorithms look for bots/scammers, and I think my behavior of polling a bunch of landlords was identified as spam, so they perma-banned me.

Start there to gather your thoughts with the goal of identifying along the way what specific field (wholesaler, rehabber,..) fits your personality and strengths.Complement this with networking here on BP along with any real estate network groups in your local area.
