First Deal: Build from Scratch or Flip an Existing Home?
I’m about to dive into my first real estate deal in Central Florida, and instead of flipping an existing home, I’m considering building a new house from scratch. I've been working as a construction manager for years, as well as my partner, so we are not completely unfamiliar with construction, subcontractors, etc. However, we've never thought about real estate investing but until now. I’d love to get your thoughts on this approach!

You're right. Thank you so much. I understand none is really riskier than the other. I guess it is all about the numbers and the information available to avoid the unforeseen as possible. Thanks again!
