@Mohamad Guene  Simple answer - you will be cash flow negative, and your appreciation will be limited.We did a new build once for a rental - it performed miserably cash flow wise despite a great location and property - we ended up selling it 3 years later.There are very few new builds in Huntsville proper - are you referring to an outlying area like New Market or Meridianville?

I am licensed in NY and CT so I was going to go to CT and buy a number of single families or a multifamily building but I am indecisive on whether I should go to CT or Jersey...or both.

I might have a better shot at it if build a portfolio of properties and sell them all together as a business.

- Are there certain areas you would stay away from and why (eg, high crime, bad schools, poor quality builds, etc)?

Instead of a voicemail I sent a text asking for any communication so I can plan accordingly. 

At some point you will need processes for tenant communications - portal, email and text are the only way we communicate with tenants.

I like turnkey for people who want to invest, but don't want to build a team.

I do a lot of accrual loans but on this scenario with a new build and only 25% down of the land costs only???
