Let the opportunity drive the transaction - versus letting the money drive you to buy. 

I don't know actually, but I wonder the reason IF...Would a city push something like this in attempt to drive up ownership by raising the barrier of entry/operations for noon owner-occupieds?

Even though I will be spending some time with my team during my visit, I would love to get some additional suggestions about how to best maximize my three days there (i.e. attend a local REIA, driving/walking neigboorhoods of high interest,etc.).  

I have been diligently driving for dollars, noting properties to target and compiling my cold call list.My question is, because I am searching for an off-market property, what type of financing would be best?

You will also want to walk the immediate neighborhood and drive around the area.4.

But in reality, you and I both know, this growth can’t be sustained.

If you go about an hour and a half out drive or less east and search hard, you can find land with mobile home about 150k.

There are certain areas where if you do the "driving for dollars" method, you may be able to find a property that is off market and ask the owner of the property if they are willing to sell.

Originally intended to be a buy and hold for him, we decided that because it was located outside of our investment radius (~45 minute one way drive) we would try to wholesale it.

I wasn't sure what that would look like for VRs and naively, I thought maybe I could do it all myself but the more I'm reading and hearing from people, it's probably not feasible since I'm not a short drive away from this property I'm interested in.
