I'm in the marketing field and wish I would have done construction.

I know pools are a must have amenity to compete in many markets and I have to admit that I'm a bit hesitant to enter those markets due to the potential liability risk.

As the CFO of a regional developer, I’m all about creative solutions in real estate, and your focus on building housing in a tight market like West Boise really resonates.That first 17-unit project with your friends and dad as the lead investor?

This is one of the main inherent risks with pre-construction, and the pre-construction market has cooled, and with impeding tariffs, there is some uncertainty around where prices will be in the coming months.One thing to clarify, are you looking to buy an investment property or a primary residence (or perhaps abit of both where you live in one unit and rent out the other)?

This is a real estate forum, not an equities market forum.

Is there anyone in your local market you could take out to lunch who does flips?

Do you have any projections for what will happen with the insurance market for this year, or is it even possible to project? 

Way to many investors were buying properties for more then they were worth with hopes of collecting MUCH MORE than market rent.

Educate yourself on how to handle marketing, screening, late rent, lease violations, etc.

This last year I've been trying to really learn the business and begin to market for properties.
