If you're talking about investing in New Construction versus existing houses, and not GC'ing new construction then your lenders won't care about your construction background. 

Clinton is nice as well, but be careful, lots of foundation problems there. 

If it really is a good fix and flip, then the HOA should be glad to get someone in to take care of it and make it better for their community.

Be careful with that BRRR stuff.I personally would not do Remote BRRR as there is just a lot of risk with 1) risk of embezzlement with contractors 2) change orders and 3) bank doing bait and switch doing a lower appraisal and/or LTV on the refinance.Most service providers net worth is under 500-1M net worth and I just did not feel comfortable working with them because they would screw me over when I wire over 30-50k checks to do work.

This can be a useful tool in situations where a tenant is uncooperative or unwilling to leave, but it's important to approach the process carefully to ensure that it's successful. 

I would think very carefully about ceding control over the investment given you are all inexperienced.

Such clickbait using selective data point out of context to draw attention. 

I don't care what peoples' opinions are.  

100%  Take the money while you won't pay taxes on it and simplify the plan while you are taking care of the kids.

@Adam Peralto More & more owners are posting here on BP about their rentals sitting vacant too long.Which means owners aren't paying attention to the rental market - which is slowing, causing Days On Market (DOM) to increase:(Take a look at the graph below from ShowMojo, comparing average DOM for 2018-2024.DOM are now about 40% longer than they were 2 years ago.Many owners also don't seem to be aware of real estate market fundamentals, such as seasonal effects:1) After September, when kids go back to school, there's a noticeable dip in activity in both the sales & rentals.2) After Halloween, there's another noticeable dip.
