Purchase price: $4,000 Cash invested: $15,000 Bought land with 5 mobile homes on it cleaned it up now it's my construction yard.I would like to buy the land behind me and convert it!

Knowing my end goal is to move to another state (Sperryville or Staunton, VA) and 3-4ish hours away to start a small hobby farm, does it make sense to pay off these properties rapidly in the next 5-6 years so that I have a total clean slate from a lending perspective in order to finance the land, house, and buildings, or does it not matter?

So you're the guy cleaning up the yard, trashing out the house, working the rehab or supervising the rehab, learn some of the work you could do without much time...paint, demo, basic repair, cleanup, etc.   

Similar with a SFH: I can at least get in the market with a 5% conventional loan not expecting cash flow but hoping appreciation will help me out in the next 2+ years and I will at least be able to put up the remainder of the expenses since I do live with my parents.I am young so I could be overthinking, but my end goal is to have a portfolio where I can cash flow enough within the next 5-15 years to let go of my job (5k clean a month).

My responsibility is to clean the front lawn and the rest of the property.

.- Your experience with your properties which do or don't have acreage / views / streams / ponds- Your experience with access to good labor (cleaning & handyfolks)- Your experience with the renters.

I'm curious what you all, who have property managers, are charged for a cleaning of your condo whenever you have a tenant turnover?

Tenant now requests a water softener (we live in a very hard water area) due to clothes not being clean, stains, etc.

Just evict them with damages, clean it all up, and rent it out again.

They recently cleaned house of a lot of the corrupt people and for now the wait times are worse than before.I had one project in a historic district- remember that the historic district department has a different intake deadline than the regular permit department.
