They cannot afford and do not have the energy to complete such an endeavor.

Water source and septic can be built if there is no public water and sewer.Sometimes it so rural you need propane tanks and to supply energy and heat..

And some window boxes the same color and style as the door.I like the new concrete driveway (I did that as well for my flip) but overall the curb appeal needs a boost.

I have been investing my time, energy, and money into real estate for just about a year now.

Things going for you when you are younger (everything is generalizations): no family obligations, unbounded energy, a mind that is not jaded/an open mind, a willingness to experiment, geographically mobile, lots of time.Things going against you when you are younger: no money, no experience, no track record, unknown interests/abilities, no societal acceptance of ability. 

Otherwise, if you want to be active, you need to seriously commit time and energy to make it happen.

Think of the boost in will power this would give you after you closed on your first property.

Why spend time trying to convince someone to sell for 100k under what they want when you can spend that energy on a seller who is 10k off of your price?

I think if anything it will boost ownership of younger families.  

It can be a very lucrative purchasing strategy, but you really need to invest time and energy in learning it.
