A strategy that has proven to work is starting out with the familiar,then work your way into the not so familiar.Its never an easy decision but for most people.Have thought about leasing your home instead and buying a new home as your primary home if feasible?

No down/low down is not feasible in your situation.

Most of us are familiar with rooftop solar by now:   when the property is a feasible candidate for this, you install solar panels on your roof. 

I'd like to stay in my target market because I have a team at this point, but I know BRRRR isn't feasible on my own.

Continue flipping (always re-investing the profits until it is not feasible for me to keep my w2 job anymore) and snow ball the flips until more and more are being done at the same time.3.

I'm definitely interested in flipping, I'm just not sure how feasible it is for me now with limited time and without me having any physical presence in the city.

I've read that a builder's gross margin for new homes is around 19-20%, and many are 5000+ sq ft and 1.4M+, which is too much size and cost for us, so wondering if buying a lot, deconstructing/donating, and then building new on it is feasible for $1.0-1.1M.Question 2: Our purchasing timeline is some time around Fall / end of year 2020.

House hacking a small single family or townhome and renting out by the room may be more feasible but I am not sure your comfort level / expectations / quality of living !

I'm assist ( when needed ) with the preparation of land books, feasibility studies, and competitive market analysis for the head developer at my company.

Additionally, if bids come in way too high to the point where it's not feasible to turn monthly cashflow right away, an exit strategy is to get the design through entitlements, produce a permit set of drawings, and sell to a larger developer who has the resources to be able to control their own construction costs.Kudos to all for the various creative approaches to adding value to the Treasure Valley community - exciting to see all the positive growth that's happening and it starts with people like you.
