If you want to build a large number of properties, get connected with local meetups. 

I'm <5 years from retiring, so in this time period, I'd like to build a portfolio of turnkey rental properties. 

There’s no single right answer to every situation, but the more you educate yourself and build your network, the more confident you'll become.Lastly, don’t hesitate to ask questions here, no matter how small they seem.

.$100k per building, I'd say not usually. 

Hi,I am looking to invest first time with a turnkey developer,  who is buying the land and building a multi unit commercial retail center and some apartments.

I do generally agree that once someone has their person, they are not going to be very open to switching. but if you can prove yourself with someone building that team, you may find yourself in a great position. 

Combine that with America’s housing shortage, and the solution becomes clear:We need to build more homes that align with what buyers can afford.

As those prices fluctuate, there is a builders somewhere putting his feet up waiting to see a market turn more active because the last thing he wants to do is start paying crews to build houses, that could drop in value while he's halfway through the build process and losing equity halfway into the project.

However, if single-family homes prove financially viable, I’m happy to continue building in that niche.Since these homes and projects are significantly cheaper than my market, the risk is relatively lower for me and can do at least two at a time.The ChallengeOne of the biggest hurdles is finding reliable contractors and subcontractors in the area.

It's actually the best strategy in the Nashville area if you can build an HPR yourself and own both, STR the other side.
