So, if you purchase a property worth $350k for $325,000 and increase the value of the property by doing a little cosmetic work and increased the rents you will earn the $50,000 you put down on the property in less than 1 to 2 years.It is virtually impossible to increase the value of single-family homes by increasing the rents and even when you rehab a single-family home and make it the most-beautiful home in the neighborhood it is still difficult to sell the house for more than the comps in the neighborhood.

I am not big enough or rich enough to buy anything sight unseen and yet it almost seems impossible to purchase anything without doing it that way. 

If your exit strategy is to sell the SS on leased lot/facility, it will be very difficult if not impossible.

A smaller condo, closer to Downtown with permissive HOA would be the BEST but that's almost impossible right now) - Seattle, WA (Smaller condo close to Downtown with permissive HOA) - Broward County FL (Palm Beach Gardens, Ft Lauderdale, West Palm Beach, Hollywood, Deerfield - at least 3/2 + a pool) Again - thank you Bigger Pockets friends + mentors!

@Miguel Santiago-  finding a lender  willing to lend on a  piece of land  for a  rental or  vacation home  construction will be  difficult / impossible   and if you do - the  required  down payment will be  large  ......try leveraging  anything  else you have  to get the  funds  to  acquire the land ...retirement account  loan /  stock loan /  cash back refinance /   savings /  gift  etc .....try  contacting the  smaller  local to the  area  you want  banks and  credit unions as they  might be more  willing to  lend on something like this as  compared to a national or   large  lender 

It is more difficult, not impossible, to find it for SFD or smaller projects.

While the no money down is no impossible, it still feels like a unicorn. 

You're setting a precedent for all future partnerships with these partners...one that will be impossible to justify changing. 

I just picked up a 4 br 2 bath 1 car garage in a C   ( everything in Cleveland starts with a B , impossible to make money with an A  ) area of Cleveland , all in 56k, rents will be 1200, taxes about 1400,, about 16% NET cap, 100% hands off. 

If you're in an area where finding something under $300k would be nearly impossible, just sit tight and focus on saving, learning & networking.
