I've only done 6 new construction builds ( ADU's ) ranging from 500-1200 but all seperate properties.There are also two other 0.48 acre lots (that were never merged together) adjacent to the current large lot of 3-ish acres to make this a total of 8- 0.48 acre lots when/if these do get reverted to their original size. 

I own a similarly sized 4-plex on the same street two blocks away whose appraisal dropped from 1.674M to 1.434M (14.3%) for 2025. 

It's a great way to learn in real life and off the screen.

This mindset limits the size of investments I can pursue more than if I did not have this objective.   

Definitely check their ID (FB is full of fake profiles) and screen thoroughly.... many, many scams out there right now. 

The heavy cleaning and repair costs after longer stays are definitely pain points but I've seen my clients make it work by screening the tenants more carefully for MTRs, doing bi-monthly checks to catch issues early, and writing clear lease terms about maintaining the property.

But then again, I’m not experienced in it, so I do need expert advise on what garage size and door size with height to pick.  

It seems like that size purchase wouldn't make it worth so would love to hear more on that.I did a 1031 exchange here in Chicago, where we built a ground up single family, but then exchanged into a 19 unit building.

What is your process for screening pets?
