I've been in real estate development a long time, and most of the folks I know doing it either grew up in the business, or most of them know it from working for a larger builder, i.e. as a project manager, forward planner, acquisitions, and eventually went out on their own. 

Currently targeting single family homes. 0 cash flow is okay because I will eventually be able to refinance into significantly lower rates at which point the property will cash flow.Wish everyone wrote in BP like these.

This inventory eventually is slowing appreciation.

This is in addition to cost savings.My thought coming in is that if I do want to eventually have my own team, wouldn't it be beneficial to get my hands dirty even though it is more work at the start. 

I researched various mentors and coaches, and eventually chose to work with one that was very hands-on and personally accessible to me.

My current main focus is to build out my network, put together a team, and eventually close on a deal for my first multi-family property within the next year.

I do want to manage it myself eventually, but we will have a realtor to list it.

I had a rental about 10 years ago that I eventually sold because I didn’t understand the game.

I took a HELOC on my primary residence for $200k.Used 35k down, 12k burned by a nefarious “contractor”, we eventually obtained a real contractor who did amazing work, got it rent ready and cost about roughly same amount as the first and finally got it rented.

Eventually it may be a good place to own for investment.
