@Victor Somy comparable building is three units with a bill of $100 a month.

That could mean working with an investor willing to fund the deal for a share of the profits or starting smaller with a house hack or live-in flip to build credibility, or putting sweat equity into a deal with a partner to learn and build your track record.

Try to build new in freedom hating states.

I have 3 vacation rentals in Costa Rica and a piece of land where we will be building another one near the beach.

If house hacking isn't the best option for me, how would you recommend starting out to build up some investments.

Rehabbing the all building.

I do not worry much about "hurried or sloppy work" because it is also in my contract that all work must pass inspection, which may include the city / county (for permitted projects), lender and myself.

I'm looking at doing JV.I own 10 acres and would like to partner with someone to build a SFH and split the profits.That sounds like a great opportunity! 

My long-term goal is to build a portfolio of multifamily rentals while also working as an agent helping investors scale their portfolios.Your experience sounds incredible!

I work for a building materials company now and took their online game from Zero to very engaged in the past few years and it's been really fun.
