There is a scattered site portfolio available in a smaller city near Pittsburgh.

Larger institutional players are now doing build to rent communities as well.The financial modeling for these projects would need to be built custom for the specific use as you will have various scenarios to model like  finished lot scattered infill, finished lot subdivision and raw land and or unimproved scattered lots.

Seller financing is extremely common allowing for huge returns on your money. my point is there is a lot of management in small parks so you lose efficiency of scale when they are scattered all over the place.. compared to buying a 50 to 100 unit park. 

Are there scattered lot opportunities?

From Little Rock to Austin are plenty of investment properties scattered  just about everywhere.

Given what we have seen in recent years I think this latter scenario is more likely to happen.I'm sorry if my response is much more scattered than yours 

It will be hard moving around the country and having rental properties scattered throughout.

I’d make the sacrifice of being 2.5 hrs away in Tampa or another market if it made enough sense, as I could house hack for a year and pivot from there if needed.So I guess at this point I am just putting my feelers out there and looking for any general information, advice, insights, ect. on investing and house hacking in and around these markets.Or anywhere within an hour or two of Palm Bay that is a strong growing market.( Sorry if this post is a little scattered, I had it completely typed out, dialed in and lost it all and had to try again. )Much love Bigger Pockets crew!

Hi all,
I work at a property management company based in MO that owns and manages a portfolio of about 250 properties. We own our portfolio is comprised of a 50-unit complex, a 100-unit duplex community, and about 10...

I've used this to study Days on Market (both rent & solds) for different neighborhoods, avg. rent $/sq.ft in a neighborhood and how consistent or variable that is, regression analysis of a scatter plot of data to tell me for each neighborhood how much value their might be to adding square footage on a flip, etc.
