Vitaliy, gave you solid advice and did a good job of explaining some of the key issues.

I have no w2 job, a lot of toys (need to get a plane), can do what I want, can assist my son to find his way in life (he is leading his 2nd rehab) and if I wanted I have generational wealth (I have given away a lot money the last few years).  

My job is explaining the rules.

The 2nd person really liked the house and even mentioned how nice the rehab was, relative to comparables they have seen.

Things are going well so far - I am using Grant Shipman's model (LivingSmith) instead of padsplit, which works great for me.How nice are the neighborhoods you invest in? 

What would be the best ways to familiarize myself with construction process, while still maintaining my W-2 job? 

I personally invest in the North Dallas area (Prosper/Celina) where there is lots of growth in homes with nice lots.

I am also a licensed EMT, and would love to provide housing for travel nurses, contractors, etc. in that realm since I can relate to them in previous jobs that I've had.I'm looking to invest in these states preferably: Georgia (1st choice - preferably near or south of ATL or in/near Savannah), Alabama, South or North Carolina, and Florida.

We still find buyers (and renters) that like open to a degree but want / need the office space for remote or hybrid work arrangements.When dealing with a market that does not have huge spreads on properties, one needs to define what is really important versus what is nice to have and see if the math works.
