I’ve seen folks pivot their plans quickly if they discover one city has friendier permit processes than another.And yeah, the Phoenix area has some really down to earth investor meetups, from what I’ve heard, that can help you level up fast.What aspect of the business are you most excited to tackle first.. managing construction, or scouting out those under the radar leads?

Construction 3.

Out of the 300 properties I manage, we only had 1 eviction last year.

The way I interpret the following policy clause is that so long as the property is defined as other than "VACANT" which is the case when the property is being "constructed, altered or repaired", the 30-day time period and vacant status does not apply in this instance: We do not insure any loss at your premises if your dwelling has been vacant for more than 30 consecutive days immediately before the loss and the declaration page indicates an occupancy other than “VACANT“.

With new construction and renovations going on, on almost every block.

Or the house construction industry in general where they build for $X and sell for $X+margin?

The property is 2 stories and 1,875 square feet and was constructed in 2024.

@Jon Ankenbauer you won't be able to keep the land separate from any future construction loan.

I'm born and raised in Houston and now work with a full service long-term rental management managing over 300 doors - all SF or MU (up to 4 unit).

Have a frank conversation with the property manager.
