I'm brand new to Bigger Pockets and just recently moved to Los Angeles County.

I assume a higher upfront cost as far as land purchase and the actual build but you would have a brand new house, instant equity and hopefully maintenance free for quite a while.

Los Angeles County continues to grapple with devastating wildfires that have claimed five lives, destroyed over 2,000 structures and forced the evacuation of at least 130,000 residents.

Who has closed a subto deal for a primary residence?

The first house that I bought was 17 years old, 3 br, 1.5 bath, brick ranch house with hardwood floors, Andersen windows, ceramic tile baths, gas heat and a brand new roof. 

I am new in the arena too.

I would love any advice on landlords' favorite brands or models that last well and are not complicated.

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 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.
