I can provide support of checking in on contractors, staging rental properties, walk potential leads to give you an idea of the property in person or what the area is like, meeting with agents, and drafting scope of work for projects. 

I hope that this year brings you success and great results in all your projects! 

Here are a few high level thoughts for you as a beginner:-Don't lend in second position-Don't do deals with new investors-Don't experiment with new strategies, even with experiences investors- ie, don't jump in to a first development project with someone just because they've flipped 20 houses. 

@Krissi Miramontes sounds like it was a nice project.

Knowing and understanding the local market and submarket will also drive the assumptions (or the inputs) for the projected returns and valuation (or the outputs). 

A common pitfall is treating each deal as a standalone transaction instead of connecting acquisitions, financing, and project management as part of one cohesive process.

It was nice because it had a new roof and some newer updates.

They were so good I was exceeding my own projections.

Here's her most recent thought on the matter if it helps: "Lack of inspection during building by project managers [is the problem].

You could also consider doing some value-add projects (if you have time/know how) to build even more equity if your specific neighborhood supports higher values for the improvements.You said that you like the idea of owning multiple investments and having the option to sell some down the road.Is it an option for you to stay where you're at and simply build a portfolio of other rentals in the area?
