Very exciting you are looking to get into the RE investing world.Thanks for the interest in Rent To Retirement.

@Stepan Hedz  having looked at phoenix area flips lately it is obvious to me that some flippers aren't doing a great job.

They will look great having something off market and if it closes, then they manage it.

Hey Connor, Welcome to the Forums.Wishing you the best as you plan for your first rental.

That’s the best bet.

Never built in Houston before so take my feedback with a grain of salt but I'd put money on it being impossible to build a duplex from scratch for $125 a foot (including everything from drawings, engineering, permit fees, general conditions, labor, material, landscaping).Out here in AZ the builder cost is going to be $200 a foot at best, but add 20% on top of that for the client cost.
