Housing has been expensive and seems like this may be worth looking into.  

Since then, I've learned more into my build, design and project management skills, taken everything in house, gotten my GC license and taken a more hands on approach.

I am currently house hacking my townhome in Silver Spring, MD and have been doing so for just short of 3 years.

You might know of the vacant house down the street and be saavy enough to do the research and hunt down the owner and sweet talk yourself into a deal.   

A couple years ago, I went to see a tenant occupied house but the tenant wouldn't answer the door to allow me in.

Hi Bigger Pockets,I just bought a three family house in providence rhode island.

Waiting for the event to come and then act, will cause you to lose money as people who decided to go ahead and jump, are selling as they had already made lots of money.The same thing can happen in the housing market.

Also open to SF BRRR but don’t have a lot of cash on hand for renovations this time.

And when they do send the so called "qualified leads", it turns out someone with high equity and house in OK condition asking for 125% of RETAIL value.

The thing I like about lots/land is there is a lot less emotion involved compared to houses.
