This is my first deal, and since I have no experience with it.

I feel that I don't have enough experience to know if I could do better or worse.

if there is someone who can build at a lower price in Columbus Ohio than us (my partner and I with both 10+ years of construction experience and I bid on a national scale) why not reach out and try.

I would like to get your recent experiences with rent to retirement - positives and negatives. 

Here’s how.✅ Do your research to learn what is realistic.Spend time really considering what type of business is going to be the best fit for you based on your experience and how you want to spend your time once you are the owner.

Also, the leasing agent can bring in his/her experience into the site-plan discussions with the architect.More later!

I met an investor broker and am considering becoming an RE agent to gain experience and surround myself with the network and environment of real estate investors. 

Any experience ?

If anyone has any experience with this, how can I remove my ex husband from this mortgage loan and still keep the loan terms the same by not refinancing it?

I pointed you here, where people with decades of experience are telling you there are some significant downsides.In your other post, you said you were a flipper and this would be your first LTR.
