@Henry Clark thanks for sharing this detail, really interesting to see the operations and "stabilizing" side of things. 

As we continue to stabilize supply chains, seasonal and historical patterns can provide insights for executing your next project, ensuring you factor in risk and stay within budget.Question: What are your thoughts on adjusting to the "new normal", how will investors manage increasing costs with many forecasting stagnant appreciation for the coming years?

I also had horrific PMs, particularly involved with a 48 unit apartment complex in Houston.  

Renting out one side can help offset your mortgage, which is a huge advantage while you're building financial stability.

You'll likely also reduce your cost of living by moving to a stabilized apartment.Depending on the cashflow and debt paydown, you can use this strategy until you've built enough equity to reinvest.On the other hand, getting into a multi-family after refinancing will also help you build substantial equity to rinse and repeat in the coming years.

Historically, the spring market in Las Vegas is one of the busiest times of the year, and we’re already seeing signs that this year will be no different.Although the current rates are presenting a challenge for some buyers, the pent-up demand from the past few months combined with the stability post-election is propelling the market forward.

After years of focusing on my career and building financial stability, I’m ready to dive into real estate investing and start creating passive income and long-term wealth.My short-term goal is to purchase my first duplex or single family rental. 

Could I instead hire foundation repair and soil stabilization services to prevent foundation issues?

Many should be happy on a stabilized market more then anything

The process of buying, rehabbing, and stabilizing a property remains the same whether it's a duplex or a 50-unit building, but the upside is greater at scale.
