I was planning on building the home in the traditional stick built style in my budget but am wondering if doing prefab may save some money/have other benefits.

Do I give up access to transportation, restaurants, cultural activities, doctors, emergency medical care, religious and business activities, vet care and maybe more, to live in the country on my ranch or on the beach in a beautiful country, or do I keep access to all those things and live in the city? 

I've already renovated one of the bathrooms, and I’m planning to paint the interior, update the kitchen cabinets, possibly sand the wood floors, build a fence is a corner lot and increase the rent for the room since my tenant is currently renting the entire 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom house for $800 a month.

My wife Kathleen and I are looking to begin our investment journey where we plan to settle in Georgia.

I don't plan to ever move the property, and I want to keep it as a rental as long as possible.Thank you

Is the President-elect planning to privatize Fannie and Freddie?

Hey Danny - That's awesome that you've made your first investment and are planning more with your family!

Congrats on a solid plan and good luck with the flip!

The networking and local market insights are invaluable.For retirement planning, focus on building steady cash flow and consider setting aside a healthy maintenance fund (I usually recommend 6 months of expenses) to protect against any surprises.If you're looking to expand your portfolio, Columbus is a great market where we still see positive cash flowing deals with lots of appreciation potential.

The plan is to build and then cash out refi.
