My brother and I are just starting out our real estate investment path, and are looking for our first project. 

Owner of neighboring property is willing to selling the ell, and develop-able vacant land in the area goes for $10-$15/sf normally. 

I did some brrrr’s out of my geographical area a couple years back, and I’m starting to regret it.For one a person is at the mercy of the Contractor long distance.
