I want to ensure that nothing is overlooked that might prevent future construction.Does anyone have any similar experiences or advice they can provide on navigating subdivisions and zoning?

I've had nothing but good experiences.

Consider cities in the Midwest or South where property prices are more affordable and rental yields are higher.Networking: Attend real estate investment seminars, join local real estate investment groups, and network with other investors to learn from their experiences and potentially find an out-of-state partner or agent.Partnering: Finding a local partner or agent in an out-of-state market can be beneficial.

I would love to help/share my experiences and chat with you more if you're interested.

My question is if anyone has experience with getting a 15 year mortgage and then recasting some time later (since the mortgage principle is being paid down quickly)?

Construction Experience?

I also have experience managing remodels, contractors, subs etc and have even taken some community college trades courses (framing etc) so I have some basic trades knowledge.

Quote from @Taz Zettergren: @Johnny Haygood hate to hear the investment experience has started out for you this way.

We are novice investors ourselves and have some experience in SFH and are also continuing our investing journey with them.

It’s a fairly new regulation and as Airbnb and STR have exploded in recent years, the irs agents simply don’t have enough experience with hosts returns, like they do real estate investor LTR returns.
