The other key to me taking out the loan is that I have enough reserve cash that if I lost my job I could pay the money back right away. 

Putting in place policies and systems to handle that will be key otherwise you'll always be working or at least be on-call.  

Unfortunately, while all the online places area great sources of information, you are much less likely to take action, or find someone to shadow, when online in a forum. 

Used what I know from wholesaling to come up with the estimations The numbers is used are based on a these assumptions:- Cost to build* (2024) = 150/sqft National average, 141/sqft Tennessee Average (Source: Houzeo  https://www.houzeo.com/blog/how-much-does-it-cost-to-build-a-house-tennessee/#:~:text=The%20average%20cost%20per%20square,idea%20of%20the%20construction%20costs.)- All in Cost = Cost to build * Square foot  - Sales Price = All in Cost + (All in cost * 20%)* Covers contractor and soft cost on either fee based or cost+- Profit = (Sales price - (Sales Price * 7%))* - All in Cost   accounts for agent fees and closing cost- Initial List Price = Sales price + 10%      A buffer to test market absorption- Break Even being All in cost, point where everyone is paid except me. - List price is to test the market absorption at "x" price. 250k land + build.

I’ve had a great experience with Brian Hartsell at key properties for my vegas properties. 

Negotiating seller concessions, networking with local investors, and learning property management skills have been key to finding deals with strong long-term potential.Good luck!

you also need to source the property, and for BRRRR you need a goldilocks property - something that is distressed enough that you can buy substantially below market, but not so distressed that it's not worth fixing up.hope this helps - happy to help further

And what is your price point and are you looking for turn-key properties or something along the lines of a "fixer upper"?

In the past, I've found both to be good sources of information for market insight and referrals. 

The key is to identify personal property from real property.
