Instead, if I were to invest in VB I would likely pick up SFH blocks from the beach or condos that I could rent out on AirBnB.

If you are not familiar with Alabama tax sale redemption rights, please read my blog post here:  https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/70/topics/181968-alabama-tax-sale-redemption-rightsThe twenty years mentioned by your real estate agent is for adverse possession when you don't have color of title, and it is not a boundary line dispute. 

Is that just in front of the block foundation?

@Dereck Mills books, videos, & podcasts are the building blocks for any newbie so right there you're already off to a great start.

The pro, I can see is that you can block out dates or still use the area in your home when it's not booked if you wanted to.  

Hey BP, so I’m a somewhat modest experienced wholesaler and I just came across a deal located a block a way from St.

Fixed the property, added color, improved landscaping, new roof.

The house was built in 1888 and was renovated several times, including a new block foundation inside the old stone foundation. 

What i do know is tenant took the time to paint the apartment on her own which includes colors of green, blue and red and she had her wood floors stained because “she was tired of the color” i suspect it was to hide scratches and cat urine spots. 

But nowadays, most people go with coarse steel wool to block up ratholes.
