But over a long enough investing period the numbers should more or less balance themselves out and become fairly reliable.As Bruce pointed out, the alternative is to buy and remodel a piece of crap house. 

I would like to parcel off the farm yard from the larger piece of land, and buy it from them.  

I have tried using a plastic trim piece between. the cabinets and the floor to keep them from contact smaller spills and leaks on the floor.

Just closed on this, and it's the final piece in my plan for a career shift. 

I am confident the land will appraise by itself as smaller 1 acre pieces are going for 20k a piece right next to it.

But lean on your fellow investors (that networking piece) to who they would suggest first if it is rural.How quickly can you close?

Invest in good quality, durable key pieces like beds and couches.

Just another piece of information to help you decide how you want to go with it.

Can I REFI one of my conventional mortgages into a DSCR for that piece of debt to fall off my debt-to-income?

Each piece is a pricing add.Location, unit type/number/style/mid rise/single story, mortgage middle FICO, Down payment percent, prepay type, 3 points - no points, market rents, property good to perfect condition, rented at close with verification, reserves, vesting is real person or single LLC are the pieces that deliver a rate at a moment in time.
