Spoke with the guy briefly and he advised he wanted 4 million for the whole land or was willing to sell in increments of 10 acres minimum but didn’t give a set price on the minimum purchase.I for one wouldn’t know the first thing to do to reverse engineer this thing.

You'll likely need signed and sealed plans from an architect/engineer also.

I am a software engineer full time and part time real estate investor/landlord.

The purchase price should hold for assessed value a couple of years at least, then it begins to shift based on an algorithm of recent, local sales.

I started out as an electronic engineer and then switched gears to get a degree in computer science.

Cash flowed around $1,000 every month for about 6 months, but then all the tenants got laid off (Engineers on weekly contracts) when a local TVA project was complete.

I don't have a university degree in engineering only college which is not equivalent at all so I will never make high income.

Those are in-demand jobs where pay ramps up quickly as you gain skill (takes about 8 years to become a master plumber, and any master who's not making 6 figures is doing something wrong), and they really help you know what you're dealing with as you buy houses in need of renovation.I sort of combined 1 and 3 - ran global groups of software engineers for years, then used the money to start my first business.
