http://mnsoberhomes.org/   This is an organization of over 20 sober houses in Minnesota run by private people. they formed a organization to help each other.this is a interesting part of a growing need for assisted type of housing.Just thought I'd pass the info along..your state might have a similar organization that could give assistance in figuring out how to start a similar type of housing situation.  

I am telling you this because while it looks like at the moment Nathan is right, landlording is not for you (at least right now), but you can grow into it, if you wanted to.

Great tools that get updated regularly.I am on the lending side of things and would be happy to hop on a call with you anytime to discuss financial strategies and help answer any questions you may have about nearly any loan product available to help you on your journey, even if they are not products my capital partners offer.We are all here to help you learn and grow.

That will minimize your turnover rate and make it a lot easier to attract quality house mates, plus you'll build equity quicker due to more rapid appreciation which will enable you to tap that equity and build your portfolio quicker. 

The real benefits are that you'll learn a lot, grow your network and meet a ton of subcontractors (this is CRITICAL if you want to be a GC), learn the construction process, and (like Bruce said) if the GC likes/trusts you they'll probably sign off on the experience even if you're still a year or two short.

But the main question would be for you to ask yourself: Are you growing and building ?
