(I am close to the cousin of the tenant who passed and he has done quite a bit of work for me since I met him about a year ago- he is in construction and does great work). 

Hey there Ryan,I am a construction trades teacher and I also do rehab, flips and remodels in my off time. 

It told me I should be a Construction Contractor.

Custom sizes available, all plywood construction and soft close available.

I will be working to start investing in real estate while keeping my full time job as an Electrician and I think i am going to take my construction skills and start off with Rehabbing and work my way from there.

I am a recent college graduate who just entered the workforce, throughout college (studying construction management) I became super interested.....more like obsessed...with the real estate industry. 

I think though one has to be judicious going forward were you think your going to do it. and make sure you have proper permits.I am building some new construction in Charleston SC right now.. and putting a second home on each lot that I am hoping who ever buys these will take into consideration that they can short term rent those.. thereby pay me more money for my new builds :)

@Zachary Whitfield There's plenty of paths you can take, construction, sales and marketing, development, capital, etc.

Since it needs some work she may need to get a construction loan like a 203K. have her to talk to a lender and see what her options are.

Likely going to fall into A&D type lending, vs construction loan (due to the infrastructure).
