@Monty Alston It has some impact but no lenders will give you credit for having experience building a home unless you have built or renovated a home in the last 3-5 years.

HI There;There are two properties built in 1894 located in South Orange, New Jersey. 

Lima One does verticle in many markets you can check with them.

It’s like a built in test. 

To rent the home, I would lose about $2,500 per month (based on comparable rents in my area, property management fees, etc).Both options loose the same amount by roughly 2 years, and by this time, I still will not have built up much more equity in the home to make selling it a break even unless there is price appreciation by then.My dilemma is this: I speculate that my home will not appreciate much in the next 3-5 years due to the rapid pace of development in the surrounding area.In 5-10+ years, maybe, but by then I'll have bled $150,000 - $300,000.I have thought about this a lot and feel that I mar'-too close to the problem to see the best solution.

Send me a DM with anything specific you have in mind!

I wish we had more spaces like that here in Florida. 

Hey BiggerPockets Community,I’m still new here, so please excuse me if I’m not posting in the right way—but I’m excited to be part of this space and learn from everyone here.A little about me: I’ve been in the residential assisted living (RAL) business for the past 10 years.

@Shane Regnier I've flipped a bunch of houses in Ocala but have yet to dabble in the rental market. 

You're in the right place to learn about real estate investing.
