So now I've shifted my focused to all of Texas (not Houston) with that market model you mentioned, but when I'm ready I may traverse out of state and into the the Detroit area.

Key things you will want to know about are the market dynamics (is it growing, shrinking, diverse economy, tenant friendly, etc), the property and operation plan (seeking proof of concept for the plan and a safety net in case market shifts or projections were off) and references for the sponsors. 

Given general market turmoil and uncertainty, shifts are taking place.

Or if the area can no longer be used for parking.I had one where the redesign costs to shift our approved (not permitted but entitled) building back 15' was added to the land value damages.

However, with recent (multiple) rate hikes by the fed to tame inflation, 2023 is the year markets will "normalize" with buyers/sellers staying put on the sidelines and homes stay on market for a longer period of time - shifting to a buyer's market.

If you have the time, I suggest that you more than one in order to allow people who work different shifts a chance to see the unit.

To answer some questions, neither job would really help with real estate, the one is an operations supervisor for a trucking company ( does teach leadership and shift/business running skills) .

To truly shift your tax burden, you need to actually run a business and will want to look at utilizing a S-Corp or C-Corp for said business.
