makes the conversation feel more collaborative and helps ease tension around price.The built-in pauses in your script are great.

The real question has to do with  if you are prepared to do what's required to learn the foundations of real estate investing, strategies, tactics, financing, title, escrow, marketing, deal structuring, develop acquisition systems, investors, associate networks and management of properties, rent collection, cash flow, taxes, etc.This is all took me a lot longer than one year, but you might be very dedicated. 

Hi everyone,I recently finished up a builder mentorship program in Dallas, TX where we built a home (1500 sqft 3bd 2.5ba) from the ground up.

Southern impression is primarily a single family home builder and their floorplans are all too large for profitability. they are overbuilding each unit and adding unnecessary things like garages that don't get you any income and only drive the construction values up. a garage on it's own isn't with much more than what it's built for and doesn't really add to the equity gain in new construction 

There are so many homes that have been built over 40 years ago.

Even so we generated more cash-flow and built equity faster than any real estate investment we made, or even all of them together.

If I were you I would pay down my Debt, join your local real estate Club, learn how to search for deals and wholesale, and then start buying once you have built up enough cash Reserves

Example using fictional figures:We buy a 10 acre lot, taxes are $1,000We subdivide it into 10 x 1 acre lotsNo properties are built at this stage, just landDoes the tax remain at $1,000???

Hi All -A bill was recently passed to allow Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) (<900 SF) to be built by-right in single-family zoning districts.https://www.mass.gov/info-details/accessory-dwelling-unitsMy understanding is that you could buy a single family home and build an ADU on it and rent it out. 

That came to an end eventually too and we started to focus on distressed condition properties (mold, foundation issues).
