A very important note to your getting started phase - No real investors want to "to grab a coffee or hop on a call" without getting to know a little about you and knowing if you have something to offer them.

Currently, I am in the phase where I am doing minor fixes to the property and plan to begin looking into property managers.

We jointly took part in the design phase, and they got what they wanted and I got what I wanted.

I see many investors plan to phase it over time.

I'm still in the learning phases, but trying to both stabalize my income and also figfure out how I could invest in real estate while working fulltime 40-50 hours a week.

I think that could be a great next step for me as I navigate this phase.

We use them for a Denver property and the honeymoon phase is over for us.

Changing the tractor's oil in the driveway was another favorite: keeps the dust down in the summer.The developer risk is if that solid ever gets tested (phase one or phase two environmental study) you may have to dispose of it as toxic waste, which is super expensive.

Years ago, when I was in the retail leasing phase, I was regularly presented with this sort of nonsense and consistently refused to sign.

Agents often recommend 3rd party inspectors and phase inspections and will help you walk thru that process and negotiations for fixes with the builder.
