@Wayne Brooks  and or for tax reasons.but I would wonder is it not financially feasible or just not something this guy wants to do.if it has market value buy it and resell it.. if its in an area like many markets were bare lots have zero or negative value since existing inventory can be bought for less than replacement cost then.. its a tough one if they are adding value to the price of the home.out our way extra lots are GOLD and highly sought after.

This will give you a base of knowledge to know the basics, what questions to ask, how to avoid fraud.Start learning, make a plan to gain knowledge and experience, begin executing on that plan. 

I understand your concerns and I see your point but if a man is making say ,double payments at that low interest rate, he is not doing himself a favor by putting his money to good use when that extra mortgage cost can be used toward the purchase of more properties which will Ultimately bring in more cash flow and will allow you to snowball quicker which, at your age is something you would need to do .

You are in the right place to gain the knowledge to build an empire.

More importantly, I believe in relationships and sharing knowledge.

You could combat that with value-add of course, but I have no knowledge of your market and how much room there is to raise rents.

If you have any questions about the area @Mike Dymski is a knowledgeable local. 

I would set a goal to road atleast 1 BP blog per day to expand your thinking and knowledge.

But I know there are people here that are much more knowledgeable on this than I am! 

The move-out is likely to go more quickly and more smoothly if the tenant isn't worried about the extra time and dollars involved when it comes to working with the confines of a lease.Good luck!
