Your first few deals not only get your bank roll going but they also set you off on the right foot if you have success.

I know there are risks: breaking my window, breaking a tenant's car window, tripping over a cypress knee and cutting off their own foot, etc. 

Her 1600 sq. foot, spec house, without a garage, sold in one week for $383,000.

I am wanting to start out on the right foot.

Well he did and I can tell you getting a referral and being able to Mention Mike as a Colleague got my foot in the door with a much bigger bank.

Hopefully you did not pay too much for the dirt. 1 acre is optimal these days because of desired double to triple drive thru for QSR.It can become a problem because if they make the building smaller you get less rent but they do more sales.Example a QSR used to be 3,000 to 4,000 sq ft but now instead wants double drive thru's as not many go inside for fast food like pre-covid.If you get 1,000 a foot less at 30 a foot you just lost 30k NOI and now at 5 cap example paying all cash NNN once developed you have lost 600k value.It can fine as long as you do not overpay for the land.

But you're on pretty good footing.

Everything he did would be his foot in the door, but nothing ever panned out.Wholesaling rarely pays off, and it is even more rare to make a living at it.

As it will be my first home for investment purpose, I am looking for single family property, try to get a good tenant ( that’s why I initially was targeting on A/B+ areas) to get foot in the door and start having hands on in rental investment.

You have the manufacturer parts warranty and then the contractor labor warranty and if contractor was smaller they might not be around anymore when a problem arises. 15,000 sq ft roof depending on variables running about 8 bucks a foot but can go to 12 for a flat roof just varies on time of the year, amount of labor hours to remove current roof, and any product shortages.I would check right away to make sure the roof warranty was transferred and is not null and void.
