You’re able to learn the basics of a real estate investment with lower risk and build equity at the same time.

We built a single family home version of a 2 bed 1 bath with surface parking at cost with no profit all in with land for 175k in newark ohio, a suburb of columbus ohio. when we push that to 3 units and closer to the city for our build to rent model the numbers go way better. a 30k slab for a single family home is 30k, a 30k slab for a triplex is 10k a door. we designed a 2 bed 1 bath design at 668 sq ft and it's very good layout even I would live there, but I would never build anything that small again. there's no economies of scale. you need density and shared lines, resources, shared roof shared slab, shared windows, etc the cost goes way down.

Purchase price: $1,500,000 Cash invested: $35,000 4-Unit building in Wicker Park, Chicago. 3-unit front building with a duplex up and a back brick coach house.

Hello @Hudson Filippi FHA does have a One Time Close construction loan that will allow you to build a home.

The best way to connect and learn is to be in rooms where it's going down.In terms of captial your best bet is to focus on a primary income that cash flow sufficiently, saving as much as you can and doing something real estate related so you can get familiar with the industry.

The type of information needed depends on if the building is being constructed in the future or if the building already exists.
