There is high risk, moderate risk, low risk.

These are want to be successful people with maybe some having moderate level of success.  

No one really knows, but it seems like we’re in for a period of stagnation or slow/moderate growth in the RE market broadly. - it may be helpful to step back and assess where you are in the process.

Get some real estate related books and take it with a grain of salt that some of the books are out of date to an extent.You have to learn how to analyze a property, without being really good at it, or at least moderately good at it, you'll never know if a property is worth buying.

also, I'm assuming an average construction price per sq ft of approximately $225 - $250 with moderate luxury finishes. 

If this sounded like a shilling post (new member, first post etc) I would be happy to provide ID’s and proof of purchase to forum moderators if needed as well.

But not including utilities, HOA fees, etc.I do plan on doing moderate, functional theming and a game/theater room.

LOL.There’s a WORSE WAY and a BEST WAY to try to obtain items 1-4 aboveBEST WAY: College or Professional Association courses in real estate (real estate license course as a base) and work experience for a REIT or other professional real estate organization and capital saved or equity raised from private parties with a MODERATE amount of debt leverage and or utilizing creative financing with low interest rate debt (may be highly leverage)WORSE WAY; Any guru courses or mentorship’s combine with high interest debt. 

On this deal, I was representing a moderately experienced buyer whom I have worked with twice previously in a purchase of a relatively new small multi-family building.This is my review of a transaction that did not make it to close, which highlights the process of going through an inspection period with an experienced investor-friendly agent and how that process worked correctly for the buyer.  

I'm a licensed contractor and home inspector with a moderate portfolio in Ft Wayne.
