I have built in the past and I do not understand how anyone can build a house for 250k that will last.As an agent I focus on high end relocation clients and many are positively surprised by the build quality compared to the south.

I don’t care if you steal a property, high quality tenants will never sacrifice on being safe and feeling safe.  

Aside from being licensed in all 3 states what else should I look for in a good quality agent? 

Timelines, budgets, quality of finishes, they all need to go well for your exit and if your in bed with a GC that only cares about himself then all those things will not go right for you, but he'll still get his money.People really underestimate the following:1) The cash they need to close and carry the project2) How hard it is to have a GC stick to what they promise3) How long it may take to exit through a sale

Put new tires, clean them up with 10k then sell them for 100k. 40+% on your money.

Even though the FMRs are $730, I was conservative and used $600 for my Pro Forma- The current owner hasn’t raised them at all because he didn’t want any turnover- outside of cleaning and painting, no big costs- Not Section 8 

Let's assume your expenses (mortgage, taxes, insurance, maintenance, vacancy, etc.) comes to a clean $600 and the property rents for $1,000.

I will be here for 6 months to a year and looking to continue hands on support/experience.I am a construction manager and have a lot of background in contractor management, site scheduling, and quality control.

Since you mention you have a partner, setting up an operating agreement is key to defining roles, responsibilities, and profit splits to avoid conflicts down the road.A few key tips to protect yourself:✅ Use separate bank accounts and keep finances clean✅ Get the right insurance (general liability + builder’s risk)✅ Have a solid contract with contractors to avoid surprises✅ Always verify permits and city regulations to stay compliantI still strongly advise you to work with local professionals, I’m happy to point you in the right direction!

But that alone is not quality work, make your calls, provide value and always be learning.
