I don't recommend going to a 3rd party company for private money until you have some experience3.

I don't have a current business relationship with the company.. 

I don't understand why there is such a wide variance between these two cabins right now - same formula.Also, I asked @Collin H. if there was any correlation he could find between the cabins his company manages that are doing somewhere between 15% drop to 50% drop and he said he could find no correlation.If I were to build another any time soon, it would be with a huge down payment, so it would not be so heavily leveraged for my risk tolerance right now.  

There is of course taking into account the area and if it is getting some life pumped back into it, sure you might have a builder or buyer wanting to put a house on it.I would love to hear from anyone with experience on holding on to an empty lot and just taking the hit on the taxes until you can sell for a large price. 

I would speak to your accountant

JPMorgan Chase, Nationwide, Honda, L Brands, Huntington, and Amazon are just a few of the many companies that have thousands of jobs in the city.

From that, your accountant can then figure out if you can use it actively or passively.

Left the market, completely or partially, and had to choose between using funds from either accounts?

Across the street from our primary residence, a company bought a house as a rental and it's been nothing by problems.
