I updated the bathroom/porch in the spring, and am finishing construction on a 2-stall garage (the previous garage was basically a large shed that I could not fit much in).Moving forward I am considering one of the following options to put my money and build equity:1.

Ergo I do all the cooking and cleaning  LOL It doesn't hurt that your wife has a client (you) that gives her all his new builds to sell, lol. 

Strategy Selection – With your interest in STRs, multifamily, and fix & flips, consider focusing on one strategy first to build expertise before branching out.

Why do we still build homes with sticks?  

The time has come for me to start investing in real estate and before doing so i'm looking to build a strong and dedicated team of partners: agents, lenders, contractors and property managers mainly in the Cleveland area (but also open to markets within a 2-3 hr drive away) that already possess an excellent track record in their line of work and that value long term collaboration.

What I love most about what I do is building genuine connections with people—whether it’s homeowners, investors, or fellow professionals.

I also have no problem doing some sweat work to build equity in the beginning as well.

Do people other than tenants in the building have access to the area?

Hi Lynette,It’s great to have 20+ years of experience in residential construction, drafting, and design those skills will serve you well in flipping homes or building rentals.
