No need to open 20 bank accounts unless you want to.You’re definitely not overthinking it, this is exactly the stage where structure matters.

I once called the county clerks office and was on hold for 27 minutes only to be told I have the wrong extension. the call center representative then told me there’s no way to find the correct number online without being told directly. we then had a long chat about the numerous misdirected calls she's received for other depts facing the same issue. 

and if what is there is even legal or usable.Assuming its not usable or that the best course of action is to redevelop, You are Likely looking at a zoning variance, unless the area is already mixed or changed zoning.in general when I've encountered these rural sellers that are seeing the area built up with new development they seem to think their land is worth what a finished data center is worth with facebook as a tenant....so yeah I guess assuming they want to sell at a land basis that makes sense it could certainly be a deal.

You can network as you do these things, you can also learn during the beginning stages.

I’ve worked with investors for a while now, and I’ve seen the kind of money they make on these properties, so I figured it was time to join the party.After walking through so many properties with investors and sitting in on meetings with general contractors, I’ve realized that where most people lose money is in the acquisition stage, when you don’t fully assess the property and miss major issues.

I would clean it and get everything staged, if you are staging and do all other items to get it on the market.

I am currently learning about real estate investing and preparing for my first small multifamily property, ideally a duplex or triplex, through an FHA or other low down payment program.At this stage, I am focused on building knowledge, analyzing deals, and understanding financing options so I can be ready when the right opportunity appears.

Increasing your rent is horrible advice to begin with; and sweeping the parking lot, virtual staging and hiding the laundry area will certainly not close the obvious value gap!!

Longer mortgage terms mean slower equity accumulation, higher borrowing costs, and potential conflicts with legislation stemming from the 2008 financial crisis, setting the stage for a major debate if this idea comes to fruition.

Quote from @Stuart Udis: Fishtown, Northern Liberties & Kensington are neighborhoods just northeast of Center City Philadelphia that saw a development boom fueled by permissive zoning and cheap debt a few years ago which created a huge wave of new multifamily inventory.
