It’s crucial to build a solid relationship with your contractors, ensuring they understand your expectations and budget constraints.

Quote from @Eric James: I'll continue the strategy I've been using for the last 2-3 years, building small apartment buildings.

Let the numbers tell you where is the best area, for you.Oh, and if you invest out of state, build the PM costs in the deal.

If you build relationships with the right wholesalers, you can get access to deals before they ever hit the market.

Canton is not quite as bad, although they have increased annual fees and initial inspection requirements in the past few years that Akron never put in place. 

Looking to build a multifamily apartment portfolio in Tucson and Phoenix MSA

@Monty Alston It has some impact but no lenders will give you credit for having experience building a home unless you have built or renovated a home in the last 3-5 years.

We built a single family home version of a 2 bed 1 bath with surface parking at cost with no profit all in with land for 175k in newark ohio, a suburb of columbus ohio. when we push that to 3 units and closer to the city for our build to rent model the numbers go way better. a 30k slab for a single family home is 30k, a 30k slab for a triplex is 10k a door. we designed a 2 bed 1 bath design at 668 sq ft and it's very good layout even I would live there, but I would never build anything that small again. there's no economies of scale. you need density and shared lines, resources, shared roof shared slab, shared windows, etc the cost goes way down.

I’m looking to build connections with realtors here in the DFW area, as I’m eager to explore opportunities and share knowledge with professionals in the real estate industry.If you're a realtor or involved in any real estate activities in the DFW region, I’d love to connect and collaborate.
