My husband did 90% of the work himself, only using contractors for large electrical, plumbing, and construction projects.

It's a 3 Bed 3 Bath new construction home in which we love the area and think there is going to be a lot of appreciation in the area as it matures.

I have a bachelors in Construction Managements and run substation electrical jobs for a living while my wife is a stay at home mom with the kids.

Can you do contracting work on properties and learn valuable skills that will help you remodel properties, flip them, or otherwise learn as much as possible about the construction trade? 

A borrower is more inclined to face adversity with a construction project than most other types of real estate investing.

However this is something that will for sure affect MF construction this year and sfr is these Tarrifs hold.In the NW I know a lot of lumber comes from CA / BC to be specific but my lumber packages for homes i build in Charleston SC are pine so I know it local wood .. but you know the lumber brokers they will gouge if they get any chance to do so

I am very interested in real estate investing and flipping (I have a decent amount of construction experience) I was wondering what some good resources are to look at when evaluating a property, especially in the Dayton / Cincinnati area.  

You would likely have to do a ground-up construction for a design you are proposing.

A HELOC offers flexibility and lower interest rates, which can be ideal if you’re looking for short-term financing with lower payments during construction.

I'm doing flips and new construction at the moment.
