Use the first 2 years as time to tweak and get the STR running well.

I hope I laid this out in an understandable way but I say all of that to say is it worth trying to find a mentor whose already well versed in GC who’d be willing to coach me in my home build.

I know Plymouth extremely well.

If you are located really well, the monthly is a bit low unless this is net. 

Well you'd actually be netting more in the long run by doing so compared to putting it towards the home. 

As I see it, the only ways that real estate pays you well in the first 3-5 years is low to no leverage or a strategy that requires more work (short term rental, mid term rental, rent by the room, etc.).  

Of these professional wholesalers, nearly all of them will be well capitalized professional real estate investors or large businesses doing hundreds of deals annually with many years in and around every part of the real estate investment journey.

There are many who will argue my methods and that's fine, it's worked very well for me and has been extremely rewarding in ways that cannot be compensated monetarily. 

Well no return phone calls.

They don't communicate well, don't take responsibility for their actions, do not clean or maintain homes well, and will shaft you when it's time to leave.Other than that, it's a pretty good system.
