New to the game so really trying to find a deal that will put me in a position I don’t regret.

I love their youtube channel as well that produces 2 or 3 videos a week. 

From what I've learned in this business is that you're not only investing into a deal, but into the people of that deal.I believe that real estate is a game of strong connections, not expensive playbooks.

Quote from @Scott Hertzog: Hey everyone,I am coming into this game a little later in life.

Doing STR is a completely different game.

Some/many lenders don't like a 2nd mortgage behind their first (like the skin in the game), however there are both bridge or permanent financing options out there allowing you to leverage anywhere from 90% CLTV - 100% CLTV, but don't expect good terms...

I actually recently started a youtube channel where I will be uploading videos to help investors (or anyone else interested) learn how to self-GC new construction.

Real estate is a wealthy persons game. 

Unfortunately it's a game, and it's just gotten more and more convoluted since TX doesn't regulate Roofing, like foundation work, so anyone can grab a hammer and ladder to say "I'm a roofer!"

So many "investors" bury themselves in complex, expensive situations to protect themselves from some unknown threat to their non-existent business.Figure out if you have any shooting skills (or even enjoy the game) before spending money on $600 Nikes or an indoor basketball court.
