One of the things I learned early is that the margins on a deal need to be substantial. 

I've learned something in every one of them. 

If I learned anything it's that your project is as good as your GC. 

You'll learn a lot here.I recommend focusing on 1 strategy/business model and going all in on that one until you've mastered it and it's stable.

Be ready for continuous learning and remember that networking is essential in this industry.

I'm looking forward to connecting, learning and growing with as many ppl as possible.

This is my first spec house and I’ve learned a lot.

Lessons learned?

Quote from @Jokari Trueheart: HI, almost 11 months ago I purchased 3 duplexes and I borrowed the funds from my personal residence which I took out a equity agreement for the down payment on the investment property, great idea at the time because I have 10 years to pay it off and theres no payment requirement, but , I learned more about the consequence that it takes a large chunk of my equity the longer I take to pay it back, so my goal was to refi cash out the investment property to pay it back but I don't think theres enough equity yet to pull the full $106k needed, I only borrowed $88k but with the equity percentage for one year i'm paying about $18k in equity on top of the amount I borrowed if I pay it off in year one, so I need this paid off ASAP before it increases more.
