Hi,I'm brand new to the investing environment (don't own any houses yet.).

I also wouldn't purchase properties outright because it diminishes your cash on cash return, limits your tax deductions, and make you a larger target for more lawsuits because of the high equity positions; additionally, I think you should take advantage of the interest rate environment now while they are lower.

Cost to build in today's environment I would budget $200-$250/sf.

We have had a moderate amount of success but to be honest, we are struggling finding the "right" deal in the current environment.

I had a 7 figure line with this bank before the crash they called it I paid it back.. but they could not make those loans in the bank environment 4 years ago..  

Unfortunately, my previous work environment was very toxic and got increasingly worse once they learned I was expecting my first child.

I'm not saying people that live in a trailer park are bad people, but the environment is a lot different than a neighborhood of single families as well.
