I'm a newbie investor haven't done a deal yet but ideally I'd like to focus on fix and flips until I've built a nice capital base and then shift to spec builds as well as rental properties.

It's a great feat of engineering, and Tesla is going about it the right way by building the infrastructure and battery technology to grow their business, but we're a long way off from them having a large marketshare. 

In the mean time I will put up some motion detecting, LED battery operated lights.

I almost built a spec home in Linden Hills earlier this year and have looked at some flip possibilities in Longfellow and NE Mpls.  

X has been homeless for decadesand stole battery packs from Lime scooters and electric bikes.While soddering (sic) them together in his unit, he started afire from the lithium battery packs.

Also check MLS for flip properties and new construction specs for sale.Make sure to get references of 3 or more current project in process, 3 or more recent past clients, and visit some active job sites in progress to see how they look.

What are the specs of that house?

@Luke Anderson I have been working in the spec house me space, but due to some rezoning of the school districts the sales where I bought developed lots stop selling like they were last year.

When you're looking for comps and value, how much of an influence is there between proximity to the house you're looking at, the property specs, and what you can do to it? 

I then progressed not spec building, land d vlopneht, and then rehabbing.
