If anyone knows of a good market without restrictive zones, please let me know.

Depending on how you're planning on financing the property, also ensure you are protected with some contingency just incase the property is not worth what the seller is asking for in this market.

Chasing the latest “hot” real estate market, trend or location to invest in5.

We are almost done rehabbing and ready to put on the market What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

The property was sitting on the market for about 30 days due to the condition, seasonality (it was December), and smaller size of the property (about 1300 sqft). 

If so that can work in very specific red hot markets.. however experience has dictated to me over the decades that land can take a long time to sell .. many times has to be sold on contract to move it.. or if its cash you have to have the lowest price parcel of any similar ones on the market to move it timely for cash..

We first identify a market of opportunity.

The last market valuation of this property was ~650k.

Meaning that if tragedy happened and the unit was unusable, they'd cover market rent.
