I am a builder in NWA.I have given some investors opportunities to partner in builds with me.The deal structure is beneficial for investors because they get a newly built rental property for below retail price.Feel free to connect with me if it is something that would interest you.

2- Can I build a condo building potentially? 

For us we knew this and knocked down our home to build new, unfortunately for one of the "flippers" up the street, they did not realize this and cost them a pretty penny...

In Chicago or San Antonio, it’s a similar hustle... you build the right relationships with smaller property managers who know local investor groups, and suddenly you’re the guy who can feed them deals they never thought they’d find on BiggerPockets alone.As for the fear of getting stuck with a contract, it happens less often when you’ve done your homework on the numbers and aren’t overselling some mediocre deal.

It also sits on 2 acres with separate buildings for animals and a nice storage shed.

With your background in real estate investment and home building, you’re already off to a strong start.As a real estate professional in DFW, I know how competitive our market can be.

For LOC, it's probably best to build relationships by calling into local banks there.

I flew out to team build a few times, but now operate a full business that does about 50-60 properties per year with about 1 trip a year just to schmooze.

So I’m trying to see if I take that equity off the table and re-invest the sale proceeds in another market across more doors where we’ll see better appreciation, OR if we continue keeping it as a rental and work on principal pay down even though the rental price has been coming down and the home is not the easiest to fill because of the above average price for the C- to B neighborhood.Ultimately, my stated goal has been to build appreciation (over cash flow) by acquiring 1-4 doors per year for the next 10 years to allow my wife to retire (or be work optional) by the time she's 50.

From there you can build your CORE 4 wherever you want to invest in.
