I myself would love to get into building/development down the line, when I have more experience!

Development and flips work too but I look at that as more of a business.

With the election over and the New year approaching ,its a waiting game for that extra 1/2 or full point to come down.

Myself being a GC, developer and construction consultant as my main business... the question of GC licensing has never been a factor in lending or in selling for me.

This significantly lowers the cost per door and improves your return on investment.Scalability: A three-story walk-up design allows you to maximize your build cost and land use, just like most professional apartment developers do.Control with New Construction: Starting with a new build ensures fewer risks, as you’ll have control over the property’s condition and avoid surprises from existing structures.Pro Tip: If you do go with an existing property, make sure to thoroughly vet the deal to avoid hidden costs and issues.For first-time investors, multifamily new construction is often the best way to scale quickly, reduce costs per unit, and build a sustainable rental portfolio.

"His" software I found interesting, but I don't believe he developed it.

RE investing is a numbers game so the more properties/options you look at, the higher the likelihood you'll land a good deal in a shorter amount of time.Only 6% of Suffolk 2-4 family properties listed since '23 have been triplexes and quads. 

I will consider your suggestion's particularly the investigating of the local real estate market here (or as a minimum use it as a guide for if/when i return to the states as so to develop my research and planning skills).Appreciate your feedback.
