My advice, especially if you are just getting started, spend your energy being creative sourcing inventory instead of wasting your time with making offers on the MLS.

Depending on how you answer that question leads to where you should direct your time and energy. 

Dominion Energy claims to be looking for parcels to lease for 20-25 year terms so that they can build and operate solar power plants.

Our expenses tend to be about that same amount if you account for mortgage, taxes, insurance, capex, maintenance,  internet, energy, and water bills.Our future plans are to purchase a multi-unit property (while keeping our current house with the same arrangement), move into one of the units, and rent the rest of the units out by bedroom rather than unit.

In order to cash flow it for $950 per month I would need to replace flooring, put in a heat pump for energy efficiency, paint, and insulate the skirting. needs probably around $6,000 total in capital improvements. 

I see people looking to get started all of time, it takes discipline to become a successful investor - whether that is time, energy or finances.

So the question is why devote a considerable amount of time and energy bothering with a deal like this?  

You do have the option of rolling the fee into your loan.Our agent had experience with regards to knowing which properties were going to pass or fail the VA home inspection, so that saved us time/energy in only looking at the ones that would qualify for VA.

Most "investors" are really wanna-be's and with cost of gas & time/energy that goes into them, a good chunk of agents avoid them or just put them on an email marketing campaign.  

I'd recommend to think positive(dont will negative energy to yourself).
