You just need to accept a principle of delegation that there will always be things you would do differently then they do.

I am in the process of studying for my licensing exam in the state of Tennessee and plan to work in the Chattanooga area upon completion of the test (which will be quite soon).

I am not sure there would be enough margin in this to support your goal.We know people are not lining up to accept section 8 so you could build housing targeting that group in some locations. 

@Thomas Farrell if you have any experience managing property/construction projects, I would look in to flipping properties and keeping the once that you see an acceptable cashflow on when finished.

When a loss was incurred I accepted it as a cost of investing without thorough investigation and or the percentage probability of an unprofitable outcome.  

I wanted to burn down two houses on my 90 lot development.. not as easy as it sounds at least in Uber permit crazy oregon.. you needed lead and asbesto's test then remove those if they are present..

A few years ago sellers weren't accepting offers with financing because there were so many cash buyers. 

They were perfectly acceptable 20 years ago, but now many areas are limited to one guest per calendar month. 

Costs are too high and I'm into this for over 100K.I have feelers out for someone who might accept my lot as participation for an equity agreement in a new build.

I tend to do a quick dirty look at a building like JW with price per door, but after that sniff test, I quickly like to understand $Cost/SF and $rent/SF.The way I look at a single family, 2-4 units, or a 20 unit is all different, but the end result is still ROI or IRR (over time).
