Just brief research is showing about $300-350/sq ft for basic build.

And basically I’m just realizing I don’t know how to know if these are reasonable prices or not?

And then drive and determination and money set aside to live on while you ramp up.

@Duarte MarquesPossibly but highly not recommendedFor those with no real estate experience or experience in taking on debt, it’s not easyTo do it also with little to no down payment or reserves in most occasions will end in disasterReminds me of when in high school a friend used to let his dog drive his car.

Those would be tricky too, and the properties have to cash flow, but is this basically accurate? 

Im basically looking for advice on how i can save as much on taxes as possible.Part of the property is your primary residence, which does not qualify for 1031 Exchange treatment.

Now that I have a stable income and the drive, I want to finally pursue my curiosity for Real Estate. 

Since 2021-2022 and the surge in prices in basically all markets across the country, how are fix and flippers evaluating properties.

Basically- As investors, we're hosed.

I know I'm getting the tax benefits of depreciation, the minimal positive cashflow, and the appreciation on the property, but It's pretty much a long term play of slowly raising rents annually to increase cashflow, which will eventually get basically reset when my loan goes P+I in 10 years.
