You’ll have to develop your own perspective, but I feel that you have to establish the foundational basics before you go.

My PM told me that prospective tenants may not make an offer on a rental due to a barking dog adjacent to the property.

Here's a horror story: I got 50-lots through tax lien foreclosure (year 1997-2002), was going to develop them myself when some investors bought up all the other delinquent liens (1500 liens), and formed an HOA to develop the land . . . it worked out okay at first, I made a good profit selling some finished lots to home-builders, but due to the HOA mismanagement and the economy, I have about $1-million in HOA liens on my lots.

I think if you are investing in real estate, you can still be looking for a quick buck, but you understand things can take some time to develop. compound interest is very powerful and if you are not in it for the long term, you will likely not be too impressedPeople are too emotional and probably log into thier stock market account too often and play off of those emotions. i am no different, but my stock market preference is dollar cost average for the long term. i do this through index funds and mostly retirement accounts. the stock market is at all time highs and while it had a huge crash, most people got scared away. as the stock market returned, people statring talking more about it. as warren buffet says and this goes for any investment. people want to buy clothes, cars, ect.

It also has a hug lot that is attractive for subdivision or future development.

Find an area you like, that has good rental prospects and that (if you have a day job) you can find a day job, and set up your live there.

If your background is unrelated to business, business development, management, etc. it may pay for you to go audit some courses at your local community college.

Structure New Agreements to honor existing agreements, Establish New " Floors" where no agreement exists,develope your strategy for legal removal of undesirables 3.

Even when you do it right, you're not placing general ads, at least not under the current regulations.I would start by developing relationships with friends and family who trust your experience.

After that experience, I have started making video tours of my places as they turn over for placement on You tube, so my prospects will have a better idea of how the houses look.
