We are currently building many investment Single Family Homes on independent lots that focus on maximizing rent.

I’ll definitely make that a priority as I build my team.I also appreciate your point about using different contractors based on the scope of work.

The #1 way to build a pile of money?

We are continuing to do regular flips and wholesale deals,  4 new builds this year.

Build a list on ListSource.

Like many new investors I thought that wholesaling would be good vehicle to use to build a piggybank to fund my goal of building a portfolio of rental properties (supplement my retirement) but it seems this method gets mixed opinions.

Metrics like 10-15% of ARV profit, COC, and the 70% rule all serve different purposes, helping you build expectations, safety margins, track leverage, and account for contractor turnaround times.In my opinion rather than overanalyzing numbers upfront, I would focus first on building strong deal flow.

Go straight into focusing on creative finance, subject to, and minimal cash down deals and build from there.I want to hear your thoughts on what direction to take here if you were in my shoes given these constraints (full time job and a few thousand saved) and you want to optimize for passive income first, then value appreciation?

3 seperate buildings, parceled as 3 seperate addresses so investor can get single family financing on this, is that correct?  

Say, I have a potential client that has asked me to value a 7 unit apartment building.
