I was a newcomer to the real estate industry and was still establishing my footing.

I would disagree I've seen standardized definitions of the types of communities. but I do agree there is a place in the market. it's fast growing and undersupplied but I disagree on how much of a premium people place on it. it's still less efficient and lower rents per square foot from a development perspective I'd never do it myself. it's still a suburban market and we develop urban. here are a few articles I reference with some of our BTR entitlement clients:https://www.urban.org/sites/default/files/2023-06/What%20Is%...https://www.cbre.com/insights/reports/build-to-rent-overviewThe CBRE one does a good analysis of the styles and groupings if you care to read. 

It takes hard work to build a solid financial footing and if you didn't build it how can you appreciate it and not destroy it?

Seems like there has to be options that are relatively low(er) risk and can provide a foot in to start growing funds.Here are some possible budgets and I'd love your input on how you would start out at some or each of these price points:$10K, 20K, 30K, 40K, 50K, 60K.

He is building for $131 per foot in a small town in Texas, but that seems to be a fair price.

And while there are many ways to calculate the profitability of the note I created,  the resultant investment yields significantly more than purchasing an investment in the competitive market environment.A summary of the deal is thus: My partners and I owned a 11,000 square foot retail/service center on a main thoroughfare in North West Houston.  

Does anyone have a recommendation for a company + an idea of ballpark cost I should look for, for a 1500 sq foot, 3 bedroom single-level house to do HEPA vac + wet wipe?

The house has 8 foot ceiling on each floor. 

All help is appreciatedThank you  check permit pulls on your city and how much the build cost is per square foot. email your plans out to the builders, to site walk.

Your lender will expect both of you to guarantee the loan, thus putting both of you on the same footing.
