That seems to be harder in Cleveland than in our other markets.  

And start from a position of strength rather than getting into a property right before you go back to finish up school and have no income for a year.

That said, with today's rates, every increment of extra mortgage is way costlier than it was four years ago during the sub-3%-rate Covid days. 

I have done a couple of fix and flips.

I find it cheap when hosts can't even offer their guests free access to streaming platforms that cost less than $20 a month.

I'd recommend looking at costs. your build cost is going to be well over other homes because of the fixed costs like slab, Hvac, roof, etc. check the market drivers and weight the benefits of short term versus long term. long term is no furniture and help pays mortgage but at this size it doesn't really cover everything. we didn't find a lot of economies of scale in single family detached. can you build more than one unit?

Luckily you are in a better position than a lot of folks.I like the idea of paying a neighbor kid.

I work 40 hours a week usually from 4pm -12am.

I end up spending 20k more than I expected.

In fact, I would want to go even lower because there's a very good chance some damage is hidden and costs will run higher than anticipated.If you aren't experienced, I recommend you just buy the good apple.
