I was apart of building my family’s house about a decade ago, though that was sometime I still remember laying rock for the foundation, helping with the plumbing, wiring the outlets and light switches, putting up the Tyvek and putting in the insulation.Please message me if your interested!

Stable markets produce stable income.

Most people I work with live in primary markets (as opposed to Birmingham, Atlanta, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Memphis, Little Rock, Jacksonville, Ohio, or other secondary or tertiary markets) where the Rent-to-Value Ratios are under 1%. 

We updated all units, and added one more bed and bath to achieve highest rent value, successfully converting this asset into a class A triplex producing an 8% annual cash-on-cash return and a 42% total annual return.

For example, it the rate is 3%, but my investment only produces 5% return this is not a good use of the money (and if the return in taxed will be a net loss for higher income people). 

If you produce a lot normally and are at a reputable firm most managing brokers would let it slide.

Cost about $20,000 for rock delivered.Put Geogrid underneath, so no potholes after 4 years.

Real Estate for Real Estate, a farm animal producing X amount to a farm animal producing 2x amount, etc.You may already know this, but worth noting on the topic.

Since the land will not likely produce income during the hold period, that may not be an immediate concern. 

If everyone is currently paying, I don't think I'd rock the boat right now.
