As a new investor, I made the common mistake of being too aggressive, starting with seven distressed units all at once.

They sell a 4 unit for close to 1 million dollars close to Jacksonville. they want 250k or 300k down. there's no upside. you can google the properties on biggerpockets and there isn't a lot of satisfaction. it's a slow return and get rich slow strategy. our focus is always as a builder to add maximum value, lower cost as low as possible, build and rent and build and sell the same product and raise prices to help investors out. we have a large market share and large purchasing power in our market in columbus ohio. the one strategy I never liked about turnkey new build brokerage companies like them and build2rent or others is they don't really build close to urban centers and most are single family homes. the numbers don't work on single family homes. if single family was the way to go more companies would be doing it. but by far the most common type of new construction built is three story walk up apartments.

Should I try to make the deck on the second floor a common space or as part of a large bedroom?

I know Deed in Lieu is a common and normal practice.

Wholesalers are not super common on here.

Another common practice for nationally sparse datasets such as tax data is aggregation.

Yours is a common scenario.

Though my response might help others, common courtesy suggests you thank those who took the time to answer you.

I imagine there’s a different dynamic with tenants sharing common spaces, so I’d love to get your insights on how to manage this aspect effectively.Thanks for sharing your experience, looking forward to learning more!
