I'll definitely check out the Danbury and the Berkshires more though, thanks for the tip!

Hi JelaniHere's a good article on some options http://www.bankrate.com/finance/real-estate/5-tips...

just because a property is zoned is not a green light and an assurance you can do what your describing.. it helps but that is just the start.. and what your talking about is what we called in the old days 4X4 ing... most places don't allow that anymore they will allow one split them make you name the last parcel a remainder.. ( like parcels you will see at tax sales.)But I did do a 7 lot split in North Charleston in SC and it was VERY much eaiser than anything west coast.

I am not promoting these but personally I use a Little Green (now called spot clean) and it works wonders otherwise the company that makes the little green also makes a new trigger chemical called Instaclean that works really well for old stains. 

However, I wasnt ready to let the deal die after all this time, money and energy had been put in to it.

Thanks for the encouragement and the tips!!!

I would just like any tips on the beginning stages of this type of investing.

Quick tip for the newbies (newer than me at least haha) Market yourself!!!

Any tips for success?

My purpose is two-fold: 1) to help me keep organized and have a reference manual that I can look back on, add to and tweak as needed 2) provide instructions for every task that I could possibly outsource/hire out down the road so that I can scale and grow my business.Any stories, tips or advice you can provide would be greatly appreciated.
