I want to replace my husbands truck driving income because his health is getting really bad and he may not be able to work at driving much longer.I want to be able to hire good tutors for my children.I want to be able to give generously to help other people.

I have no idea about soil conditions where you are or if the land is virgin or been previously developed.

Australia) we had a young woman buy an old run down building with us in the old market district.She opened an artsy 'healthy' low cal sandwich shop on the ground floor & we figured in a 'meat & potatoes, beer gut' place like Australia she would fold within the year.Believe it or not she paid off her share of the building in less than 2 years.

Since soil conditions, grade, rainfall and runoff, etc vary so greally from locale to locale, you need someone from that area to consult. 

That is why I have a personal umbrella policy for my personal dealings and healthy insurance on my business too.

Some builders don't include fees for plans, renderings, soil samples, landscaping, etc.

You may have to get on a list to be able to rent out your unit.Also... ensure the reserve is healthy if the building is old.

Income averaging as it were.. as I lost roughly 5 million personal in the wipe out...now I am financing the new guys in Jackson ( call me crazy) but their exit is a refi to keep them I would never loan to another out of state investor in ANY MARKET in the US.. just way to risky and having been there done that.. so what did I learn owning 300 plus home sin Jackson .. long story short your correct this investor will have cap ex up the Yazoo but he does not know it.. the tenant class the soil conditions and the fact that these homes were built about as cheap as a home can be built in the day all lead to extensive cap ex. but that is MS... and Jackson in particular.. rent to purchase raitos are stellar but you need to stay on top of these homes.. if you let them slide one inch the next thing you know its a 10 K turn over

when i've had enough, and i start looking at an early retirement, hopefully i'll have a healthy business ready to go.
