I attended the RALA 3-day training in Phoenix and took a couple of online courses as well, and while I found these courses to be very valuable in helping get a clearer understanding of the space and what it might take to be successful, I eventually I found it most beneficial to bring in a partner/advisor who has built residential assisted living facilities here in Texas and has been running them successfully.

After talking to my guests and understanding their needs, I shifted my approach.

You may want to consider really understanding construction on existing built homes and then pivot into using a trusted GC for those new builds.

Since you're open to markets beyond NYC, you might want to connect with local investor meetups or REI groups in those areas to build relationships with agents, wholesalers, and lenders who understand the nuances of each market.If you're looking to break out of analysis paralysis, maybe start by narrowing down one or two target markets and running numbers on actual deals.

Once everyone understand the mechanics, and the results for all: they'll keep coming back to the table!

i understand that's very general and each is a case by case basis; we've viewed a couple of them.

If you don't understand the numbers, ask someone for help.

Quote from @Brandon Stelling: Is there anyone who can help me understand how to leverage real estate investing being a military vet with 100% VA disability benifits?  

Quentin, build your knowledge, make sure all this is done correctly.Banks rarely call the loan just because of the deed being transferred, something else triggers this, mostly because the investor decides education is not worth the money.It can be because the Insurance was not done correctly, the seller does not understand the process, the Title Company does not know what to do so they call the Bank and make a mess out of the process and a few other factors,If the investor is knowledgeable on what to say to the Bank if they call this is a fairly simple conversation to have.

Thanks Brandon Rizzo for understanding here.
