I currently work in the energy sector, but my ultimate goal is to become financially independent through real estate.

Quote from @Greg Friedman: I recommend self-management if you have the personality, time, and energy.

In a light cosmetic flip, what are the advantages of purchasing builders risk insurance over using a traditional homeowners insurance policy? 

Ok thanks  I finally figured it out, it lists all the HUD homes in the results but shows you a map that none are available GNND in light blue. 

You're asking someone to spend a lot of time and energy to share what they've spent years - maybe decades - learning and developing.

This can be a huge time and cost saver, especially if you’re managing the property remotely or using property management.Energy Efficiency: New buildings are generally more energy-efficient, which can be a selling point for tenants and lower operating costs for you.Builder Warranties: Many new builds come with warranties, providing some peace of mind for unexpected issues within the first few years.3.

@Yosef LeeWhat energy AND humility you show!

I would just tread lightly.

The cost of changing a light bulb is quite a bit more when you factor in travel time to get across town, vehicle cost, a qualified person on payroll with benefits, overhead cost for the office to deploy that person.

Now, of course, there are no secret IRA agents watching you to see if you go change that light switch or toilet flapper yourself, so take that for what it's worth.
