If they can build a larger home and sell it for the same or more rather then building a couple small homes why do it?

I know of some folks in KC and Memphis doing new builds like this, but they are doing it within a much larger and long-term project that includes upwards of 300-500 units built over the course of 5-10 years.Assuming you're looking in Columbia, do you have a "B+/C" neighborhood in mind?

If the drywall cracks in the next year or two, or the doors start to stick, then you likely have a larger settlement issue going on, and will likely need to call a foundation repair contractor. 

Attract a Larger Pool of TenantsOne of the biggest hurdles tenants face is saving for a traditional security deposit, which can amount to thousands of dollars.

Would it be buying more of the same type of properties or expanding into larger properties?

I work on projects across multiple states and have a strong network of contractors.Regarding when to involve a contractor, if it’s someone you haven’t worked with before, I’d suggest waiting until after the inspection.

Going to networking events is a great place to meet people.

I would love to meet and network to people in South Florida , and find a mentor or someone who has taken a similar investment route that I am doing from flipping to owning rental properties.Really just meet likeminded people. 

Looking forward to building a strong network and creating win-win partnerships!

Now it grew into a larger problem.Much like others I am hearing about, hope you don't get the loan called due.
