Attend your local REI meet-ups and try to find someone who is currently house-hacking or has house-hacked in the past to learn from their experience.

Major brands like Ritz Carlton and Waldorf Astoria are currently developing property there, where they have traditionally developed in Miami, Fort Laud, and Palm Beach. 

If you find someone at a REA or other investor meetup group that is currently in this space it can make your first time go much smoother. 

One thing that not many people talk about too is how there is disincentive for current homeowners to curb affordability. 

With land investing/flipping becoming more democratized/accessible  (so many landed courses, tools, resources etc), current prices/RE trends etc, is it still worth getting into land investing/flipping for a brand new RE investor ?

I do not currently have any rentals.

But if your goal is to cashflow positive from the Day 1, you may find it very challenging due to current day interest rates, high cost of construction and the fact you won't have the efficiencies of a seasoned developer building at scale.

For example, what is the required income to rent ratio, amount of time spent at current employer, credit score, etc etc.

I have landlord policies for my rental properties in TX and AL states, but I am not able to get an umbrella policy form my current insurance company, because I do not have car insurance and primary residence in US, as I am not a resident in US.

Do you get any volume discounts or better service due to the volume of your business from the current providers, that might be something to consider. not sure if that is even a thing for lawyers though.
