The question is, should I sale the land and use the money to invest in a turnkey property or should I utilize the land and potentially put a few mobile homes there and rent those out.

This thorough approach helps landlords gain a better understanding of the prospective tenant's background, enabling them to make informed decisions about potential renters.

You may in theory, potentially be able to take a loan out on a balance.I.E. someone has $100,000 in value somewhere(such as a retirement brokerage or brokerage account) that acts as collateral if something goes wrong, towards a loan amount.You would have to speak to a couple of banks to see who would do this and what the interest rate of the loan product would be.I think the likely easier situation would be if there is a distribution taken from the retirement account(taxable income if traditional retirement account) which is then lent to you.

Greetings,I’m here seeking guidance on a potential deal.

This has worked well so far and we are considering purchasing other rental properties in the area.Clearly this would come with high turnover, potential for damage (and general gross-ness haha). 

To many people use Excuses to prevent them from expanding their potential.

It's a fascinating puzzle, and I'm navigating the intricacies of property valuation, expenses, and potential income to ensure I make informed decisions for these investments.One challenge I'm actively tackling is finding the best platforms to market my properties.

I do think over time it’ll die down, but I’m looking to start investing NOW as I have waited for 1 year to just learn and research etc… I definitely think there is great potential in SD, but I think with the funds I have right now, I could grow a lot faster in a different market.

Ensure the potential returns from the project can offset these additional costs and you'll do fine. 

The only deduction is the cost of your lunch with Ashish.Here is a good common sense test: would a reasonable person pay for airfare, hotel and whatnot just to interview a potential new CPA?
