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

LTV dropped to 50%. 30 yr fixed @ 4.3% LLC (2)• Investment condo - new construction high end purchased in 2019.

I was broke enough that I couldn't afford rent at my apartment, but fortunately my landlord didn't notice, thanks in part or in whole due to some substance abuse issues.Anyways, when visiting my mom in the neighborhood where I grew up, I had noticed this construction van at a house on our street.

Cost approach A straightforward method that adds the cost of the land to the cost of building construction.

I also see your point about avoiding bargain basement properties, especially insofar as tax shielding is easier with an asset of a reasonable size.Your point about barriers to entry is also interesting, since I suppose those barriers can be geography (natural boundaries of mountains/water), but you're probably referring to that which impedes future construction?

If you don't have construction experience, I wouldn't start flipping.

Housing has always been super affordable there, and new construction has increased in recent years.

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.  

Nor can they see any construction plans to assess true value.

Those are buyers not renters unless there is some other circumstance.I think you are right about supply....apartment construction is just about to come to a halt and unless interest rates drop in 1/2 probably won't see that pickup for a while.
