If you sold the quad there are costs involved, and then you have to find somewhere else to live.

I had this issue once, at a property that was nearby where I was living. 

I grew up in New Mexico and went to UNM in Albuquerque but have lived in Austin Texas for the past 19 years.

I found myself attending in-person networking almost weekly prior to the pandemic, but we live in a different world, and the digital shift has made it harder.Currently looking for personal investment deals in the area, and also passionate about connecting other local investors with trusted service providers.

Lending options depend on if you're going to live in the property or not.

I live in one and rent the other for $400 cash flow.

When all the expenses associated with owning and maintaining that house exceed the rent you can get from the property you are effectively upside down and are actually paying your tenant to live in the property.  

Additionally, there are pockets where long-term rental returns are also amazing and can cash flow great, you just need to know where to invest.  

I'm looking to target parcels around where I live (in the Midwest) to buy and subdivide into a minor subdivision to sell to builders.I am seeking help on what criteria I should be using to filter down lots for this goal.
