Building property for rental (SFH) from scratch

[Dan D.]

Has anyone on here had success building a new home for a single family rental?

Thought is you can build it tenant proofed up front in an area you like for a long term buy and hold.

I'm guessing the costs are prohibitive, but curious if anyone has done this and made it work.

I see a possible deal on some lots that are available in a good, healthy growing neighborhood.  Was wondering if this might make sense.
