Some of it is due to his questionable methods of getting reviews on Bigger Pockets.

If you can get hold of a reliable and honest builder, you will be fine (that does not mean you will not go over budget).Low CapEx, Little Hassle, Quality Tenant, You can manage new construction out of state for the first 5-years, Tenant May Stay longer (because is a brand new house) are few benefits of new construction.You may not be able to get close to the 1% rule though.Goodluck

@Saul Clavijo make sure you understand you will be getting into Class C properties at those numbers.Food for though below, DM us to chat more about Detroit:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I'm new to RE and I'm interested in attending some quality meetups. 

I see you mentioned the BRRR method, here's a nice breakdown of it here on Bigger Pockets.   

Even if your GC is decent was able to get your job done in 100 days, if it doesn't resemble the comps in quality then your 300k exit is now 270k and with all the exit costs and holding costs your 40k expect profit is now under 10k. 

But with 40 ft lots, that same space could accommodate 179 homes.By increasing density in this way, we can deliver homes that are more affordable, while still meeting the needs of families who want single-family homes with their own yards.Higher density doesn't have to come at the cost of quality or livability.Much respect and love what you're doing at BP.

Quality, experience, knowledge, track record of sponsor2.

When looking for a property to purchase, make sure you take this into account. 2) The BRRRR method is really hard to do in Bing, especially in student areas.

It will depend on the quality you're looking for..
