Or just parcel them off a piece at a time. 

I have an offer in on a piece of land in Tampa/St.

I just started The book on Flipping Houses and Estimating rehab costs.Next I have Buy Rehab Rent, Refinance Repeat and and another about buy and hold.We have our Realtor in place (fellow investor).I’m slowly putting the pieces of the team together (contractor next).I want to follow the steps and see action within 3 months.  

You tend to need 2 of the 3 to make big plays, so think of what you can offer and try to find someone to cover your missing pieces?

I do want to add a piece that often gets overlooked or intentionally ignored on the forums here: while we are all here to make money, vacation rental investment is about selling a experience rather than just accommodations.

Sure, you may not have the depreciation or other tax benefits as a piece of real estate does but you're also not doing much of anything except putting money into a wire transfer and  living life. 

If there is one, then the attorney that closed your piece of property would have a problem on his/her hands, if not, you can sue the town that owns the sewer line.    

@Victor Valle -Knowing what you'd do with the $165k is the key piece ... until you have that identified, we're comparing apples to oranges.If you're curious what that $165k could get you in the Raleigh/Triangle metro, shoot me a PM - I'm happy to share some thoughts.

I thought it would be a great conversation to see what that one piece of advice fellow investors wish they had before their first purchase. 

One of the few areas in Japan that is consistently experiencing population increases, I think, and a fantastic outlook for foreign tourism, particularly from China and Southeast Asia.I'm tying to piece together what you're looking for, tell me if this sounds right.
