Hey all,
New to posting on BP but I’ve read a ton. I recently came into 18 acres of land (potential to be up to 100 acres more, waiting on surveyors, layers, etc.)
A little about the property: small single family home (occupied by former land owner and family friend) probably tear down after he leaves. 90% wooded and has some large stone throughout. Has septic and well both in decent condition.
Small township in Northeast Pa with a population around 3,000. Not sure where to begin. Looking for any tips, ideas, suggestions out there?
Appreciate any and all input!

Hello BP!
My name is Randy. I'm brand new to REI and have read many books/articles and listened to hundreds of podcasts. I'm getting closer to taking action each day (paying down consumer debts and student loans to free up cash). I'm looking to hear about other investors stories using FHA type loans!
