Purchase price: $11,500 Sale price: $22,000 Vacant land wholesale deal What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Interesting in finding out about land investing. 

I understood back then that for me to build and scale the business, I needed to always make decisions based on numbers and not emotions, and that's one big reason I've kept myself in the industry now for 4 years.I see a lot of people getting too emotional after their first proof of concept, and most of them are not in the business anymore.

All my portfolio is actually in Sugar Land, Katy, Cypress and Spring. 

I worked with Martel Turnkey who are primarily based in Cleveland and Memphis and bought a SFH from them.

Whether it's hidden gems or established areas, I'm open to exploring various options.Here's where your expertise comes in:- Promising Markets: Based on your experience, which areas offer compelling opportunities for cash flow and appreciation within the $150k range?

Biggest difference from CA are much more favorable landlord laws, taxes do NOT reassess on the sale, and still high appreciation due to land constraints, proximity to Lake Tahoe, tech and manufacturing job growth, Tesla continuing to expand, etc. 

Should it be based on the lease value or is negotiating something based on my costs incurred plus time and suffering the better route?

Hi Leanna, Given the work you've put into the property, you can refinance based on its new value without a seasoning period.

Softwares can have differing "freshness" of data based on locations they support.For example, one software may update their pre-foreclosure list for Akron, Ohio 1x a week and another 1x a month.
