@Josh Young - Are there opportunities to buy new builds for investors?

I don’t believe you can do a 1031 into building an ADU on land you already own, even if it wasn’t your primary.Reach out to @Dave Foster if anyone knows he would.

HOWEVER, there are two completely separate apartment buildings on the lot. 

I'm interested in flipping, and short-term rentals at the moment to build good cash flow, then pivot into more of a buy-and-hold/appreciation play 10-15 years from now.

Since you’re already diving into BiggerPockets, focus on clarifying your investment goals (house hacking, multifamily, or BRRRR), building your network with experienced investors and lenders, and most importantly, taking action by analyzing real deals.

If this is your first property, you could consider starting with a smaller apartment building and going after the opportunity first, and the property as a secondary consideration.

Go to BUILD YOUR TEAM at the top of the screen and look for local investors or meetups in your area.

I have seen it too many times where an investor will buy an older property or even a new build, they net cashflow similar to you for a year ($100-$200 per month) and then a $5,000 repair or insurance/tax hike here hits them and it's a loss - they either get forced to sell or are majorly setback and unmotivated. 

I'm currently trying to build my list of interview questions that I would/could use when it comes to screening and finding the right Real Estate Agent.

Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, Donald Trump’s luxury hotels and skyscrapers, and Oprah Winfrey’s Montecito estate, "The Promised Land," all reinforce the undeniable power of real estate in building generational wealth.My journey into real estate was far from conventional.
