Not sure if you staged it, but I did my homework early on when I first started so I know my pricing and I build it into my deals.  

Quote from @Daron Williams: I just invested in a tax deed here in texas it was a beautiful lot right on lake sam rayburn. i have it on the market for sale the only problem is you have to have two lots to build on.. i found the person that owns the lot to the right of me and there willing to possibly sale there lot the only problem is i dont have the money or the credit  to purchase it.

Quote from @Sophanara Khoeun: Quote from @Krystyna Schexnayder: For me personally, as a property manager and business owner, I truly believe this is not only about real estate, its a business of building relationships, and I think just being aligned with the basic principle that what we put out is what we get back, so I would be remissed not to oblige a new investors inquires. 

The modest cash flow could be reinvested, eventually allowing me to build a portfolio of income-generating properties.I recognize your point about needing $2.5M–$3M in cash to consistently replace a six-figure income.

You could be overinsured on the building and lose money on not enough Personal property coverage.B. 

I want to build my wealth, gain experience, help people along the way and then maybe help people in foreclosures or something.

Build on both?

How long did it take to complete those first three builds?

If this job popped up out of the blue, your intent was not to move within the 1st year, so you may be ok.If you are planning on building a portfolio of homes, it is safest to stick in your home for 12 months to reduce the appearance of potential fraud. 

I started out with little to nothing when I was in the Army and building up properties slowly.
