Starting a business is hard and most of them fail, so it's not you.

Starting with a single-family can be a great way to start especially if you’re looking for a lower-risk starter project where you can get your hands dirty and learn a ton by doing.

There is a lot of research to be done to make sure it is feasible before you start the project. 

And Point of Sale, don't even get me started on that Communist BS. 

This allowed Jerry Scott and Chad Wolfe to focus on the execution of the project without needing to invest their own capital upfront, ensuring a streamlined process from start to finish.

@Robert Kline, I would start by talking with your local building department. 

I think everyone's situation is different, and when one crafts their buy box, they need to consider their current family and finances.For me, when I started, I wanted to buy 2-4 unit distressed properties in neighborhoods I wanted to live. 

This is where I would start if I were you—perhaps leveraging one of your existing properties.As a last resort, you could look for a partner willing to fund the project in exchange for a share of the equity.

@Mike Levene cost to build per square foot is $200-$300 depending on finishes.So, you can start with that.

For connecting with local resources like mortgage brokers, investors, and agents, the Austin Real Estate Investors Association (REIA) is a great starting point.
