I’d honestly rather just look at buying one off condos at this point, probably not gonna cash flow either but at least you take some risk off the table and can get into more stable areas with less construction (mainly NW)  

2) Re the flip, Do you have any experience in construction, or dealing with contractors, as well as your local building department?  

I'm a licensed general contractor as well so anything construction related as well give me a shout!

Good to have a solid GC in place to spearhead the construction if you are new to building.

Appreciate your frank, constructive response.

I’m currently selling a unique Airbnb property in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, which is partially constructed but operational with two rooms.

Next time on a MAJOR renovation project, I'd have the City of Johnson City Building Inspector join me for a pre-purchase tour to tell me what permits and what jobs they'll require of me.
