Pre-construction homes, which could build $50-60K in equity within a year or two.I can afford a 20% down payment, but I’m torn between focusing on equity (pre-con) or cash flow (resale).

Creative financing options like seller financing and partnerships can help build a successful portfolio.Good luck!

When the whole covid shutdown occurred, I dropped out of college to help my father's service business maintaining and remodeling residential and commercial buildings.

Just want to mention that sometimes it works out better to raze an existing property down to like 2 studs and rebuild around it so that it still is classified as a remodel versus a complete new build. 

I am excited to start building my portfolio and learning all I can.

My contractor brought me a house off the market.

It sounds like you’ve got a solid foundation with your rental property, and I love the ambition behind your plans to build a property management and maintenance company—it’s a great way to take control of your investments while creating additional opportunities.Best of luck to you! 

My husband and I own a rental unit in a condo building in Jacksonville, FL.

Long story short, the properties were far from turn-key and required that I find an out-of-state contractor and property manager to complete renovations and find new tenants. 

It makes sense for your new build but you'll have leverage something (fixed rate) to get out of that loan.
