Are you in a high fire zone?

We found that we were often outbid by novice investors or that the bank set a reserve price so high we couldn't make the numbers work.

BiggerPockets also has a calculator to analyze deals, and I highly recommend you start this as soon as possible, even if you are not ready to buy.

We budgeted $100k and that’s our goal but have extra just in case something pops up so this $120k is a high number.

What about land use and zoning policies that exclude affordable housing or even the high cost of living.Did you know that since January 1, 2020, California requires new construction homes to have solar panels?

When I was stationed in Northern VA, high costs had me stuck until I sold my Corvette to meet my DTI ratio and get a condo using my VA Jumbo LOan—one of my best investments.

It’s slow and fees are high.

This might not be realistic if you're going to build several homes, but I've worked with other developers that were either building custom homes or doing high end rehabs that used them.

I have my eyes set on a plot of land near my home where there is high income and significant traffic in a rapidly growing area in Cedar Park, Texas (north of Austin). 

@James Maaba congrats on your recent long term rental purchase, East Stroudsburg is in high demand!
