I know it varies depending on the area....Im looking for feedback from those who use the 50% and 2% rule.

But these laws vary widely from state to state.A conversation with a lawyer may be in order.

I know this number will vary greatly depending on a lot of factors, but I'm just looking for an average and ballpark.

Meter costs vary by jurisdiction but you could be looking at several thousand just for the meter and probably at least two weeks wait time from the time you pay.

I'm sure it varies by area, but in my area, those parcels are sold as "recreation land".

Your mileage may vary.

I can do that because I konw my neighborhoods (a city name is worthless as neighborhoods vary) and I have a background in construction and property insurance claims and know exactly what happens to a house when certain things occur and know exactly what it takes to put a house back together and what are unnecessary extras to putting a house into rental condition.

This varies depending on how you structure your contract, but if that is what your contract says, then at the time you enter the contract, you will need to supply a 1% downpayment.

Median income levels are published by HUD and vary by location.
