I have no idea how to find developers that would build luxurious homes in a community like this, and wonder if they'd bend over backwards to pay for Backtaxes, Closing Costs, a wholesalers' assignment fee, and close within 2 months!

I want to improve my cash flow, I live in a rental spending 1,500/mo on rent, I'd like to get my spend to less than 1K, I'm single, no kids so it's easy for me to move and I can get by with something small, but don't want Condos/HOA   I would also like to eventually house hack with a four plex, living in one of the units.   

My wife and I have a business plan completely reliant on the aging population here.I would look into unassisted living developments, retirement condo villages, and the areas nearby for my bread and butter.

I am investing mostly to create cash flow right now and would like to eventually own quite a few units. 

I would love to own a house here, been here all my life, but as an investment it absolutely doesnt make any sense to me, I do not have a mil in savings and not willing to set my confidence on a million dollar purchase with 20 percent down and owing high interest in paying it off in the next 20 years, where I can likely make that million in a few short years buying and holding in these smaller developing areas out of states. 

A little bit about me: I was born and raised in LA, I'm 23 years old, and I work as a software developer.

Indeed if my career had started 5 years earlier it would have feen far easier to get into the market as my income and savings really only hit a good place around 2014...This summer we purchased a rental home which will eventually become our primary residence for more than I would have dreamed of a few years ago and in the end we had to ask ourselves two questions.

I'm hoping to eventually add flips too!

I have been speaking with the county and a local developer (they are my consultant on this project) regarding the soft costs of the land development/preparing the site. 

The idea is for you to develop your team, solid set of relationships and maintain discipline (critical, even though it's very hard to do IRL).
