Are you going to develop it?

@Jim Genis Don't forget the Cerner Development project in Kansas City which is expected to create 16,000 new jobs!

So, it is a bit harder to develop relationships with title examiner as you need to go through an attorney but I would be interested in hearing thoughts on how others who bid on courthouse auctions do some of the basic research as far as making sure they are bidding on the first mortgage lien, tax lien, mechanic lien, judgement, etc.Thanks and look forward to a great discussion on this.

Thanks for the welcome  We will likely do some pre wholesale deals as well as some flips etc but our long term goals is to develop a portfolio of rental properties. 

I am hoping to work up to property acquisition and commercial or residential development in the future.

I was very impressed with her professionalism and understanding of the development process. 

Investing in dividend-paying stock or REITs requires very little time commitment, particularly when investors use brokers to develop and manage their portfolios.

@Seth Nadreau 11 million people vacationing in the Smokies every year definitely seems to make it viable for investing :-D I haven't looked into it too deeply yet, but I know there's plenty of cabins that are already fully managed, rented, and maintained by developments/cabin HOAs/orwhateveryoucalladevelopmentofvacationcabins that could potentially be feasible investments.

I'm excited to see how this thread develops!

It is a great area for new development.
