@Brandon Walston - Every state has their own landlord / tenant laws, but I think pretty much all of them (or maybe even at the federal level), you must honor the lease that is in place when you buy a tenant occupied property.

It's where I cut my teeth and tested all my knowledge and skills set.

This will vary property by property and area by area, but in area not only do you have all the city/county level planning: access, traffic counts, density requirements, unit counts for school districts, sewer capacity, etc, but you also have neighborhood councils which will have additional level of say in final design, scale, unit counts, uses, etc.  

My speculative guess is that you see a further decline of 15% to 20% off the peak (August 2023 – here) and interest rate declining to 4.5% in the next 18 months to bring the market to a more affordable level.

I've done some high level market analysis and have been looking at properties to purchase.

Peerstreet was run at the C level by techs - not finance people.  

Which is what has helped him to achieve the level of success he has achieved.

They often know about listings before they hit the market and can guide you to good neighborhoods for flipping.Use Your Contracting Skills: Your experience in contracting is a huge asset!

They can help you see where you missed the mark and that will help you screen deals to find the right ones.It sounds like you have skills that can work to support a JV deal. 

Given that it is reflected in the price most of the time, and therefore to buy a property in a lower school district will cost less on the front end, often require a lower level renovation: it all comes down to the numbers and which is going to yield the largest return for the least effort/headache.
