I’m new to the field, but I’m eager to learn, connect, and grow with like-minded individuals who have experience or are also just starting out.I’ve always been drawn to entrepreneurship, and wholesaling real estate caught my attention as a great way to build a business while helping others find investment opportunities.

Guaranteed value appreciation or maintenance.Although you said you don’t mind high risk.  

As previously stated, do your due diligence work and keep an open mind.

Whether its for investors, agents, or just a general meet up for like minded individuals .

Questions like this often get better and more actionable responses.Also, keep in mind that while this site is an incredible resource, opinions can sometimes come across as blunt.

Owner occ developments there is no value associated to the income approach so these props generally speaking will appreciate a lot more as the neighborhoods are much more desirable. builders the last thing they want to do is sell to investors if they are creating owner occupied communities.. rentals degrade the neighborhood and they will be sabotaging their own values to allow a bunch of investors to buy and rent out in their communities.So when you buy new builds keep in mind if its a build to rent community they will NOT appreciate like owner occupied neighborhoods.. might be best to find something already 3 to 5 years old where the stigma of renters dies down.. that would be best to protect your investment.

As for valuing the property, keep in mind that the properties are valued based on NOI, just like any business. 

Do you want a company that will keep the long-range investment objectives in mind or one that focuses on today and today's profit alone?     

I don’t mind SMF investing.

The builders in Huntsville don't mind. haha.
