I am starting to realize there has been a significant amount of consolidation in the space by private equity and other institutional investors. 3) From research it also seems like getting financing can be difficult without prior experience in the space.

I just re-read and realized you're talking about getting loans for lien position 2, is that correct?

I set my rent standards a little high and realized that rent is actually not that high.. we have a morgage on it and it looks like the house is selling for more than we originally paid 4 years ago.

I’m reminded of a buddy of mine who moved from Brooklyn to Scottsdale.. he initially thought the desert was just cacti and scorching heat, but soon realized there’s a thriving market here with pockets of real oportuntiy.Working with an investor who’s ready to spec build is a fantastic way to dive in.

I have a followup question - I will realize a lot of capital gain from this home in Idaho, so I think unless I purchase a new primary residence I will have to pay that capital gains tax. 

I realize that my SEO optimization and stuff isn't great, so I really need to see what should be my next steps. 

My belief is that you will be challenged to realize a 10% savings loan n your first effort and there is some chance it will cost more than if you used a GC.  

I realize it takes a village.
