@Ricky Santos Pulling out the newly unrealized equity in your primary to get another build is a great idea! 

With the equity I would have enough to place a down payment on a rental property here in WA, as well as using the newly freed up VA to start hunting down an additional MFH as well. 

For newly constructed, purchased or renovated properties and also retroactive generally over the last 10 years, building components are properly classified into individual units of property and accurate recovery periods for computing depreciation deductions.

Our house is near a newly developed mall (one of the main reasons we bought it) and we're seeing quite a few small houses being turned into multi-million dollar McMansions in our neighborhood. 

So excited for what’s to unfold in Canyon Lake, Tx 🚀🚀🚀22 short term rentals are about to launch.

Best bet when newly licensed is not send investors what's on the market, they all know 100 realtors who can do that, it's about using data from the market to help with ARV and finding properties off-market for them, that's a value add.

Once they are out, then find tenants that won't trash your property and start them at the newly increased rent.

Once rehab is complete, rent the newly rehabbed unit at top of market and move into the 2nd unit.  

I don't think being newly licensed with a background in cosmetology or whatever is an indicator of an agent's ability to perform.
