I think it's a good place to start and a natural progression:1.

I should have paid as the job progressed but instead I paid weekly and the work didn’t progress.. and then one day the GC never answered his phone or showed up to the site.

I’ll keep everyone up dated on my progress, like one of the realtors created a portal for me to look at that has most of what I’m looking for, just trying to get used to a lot of thing

If not, please post progress here.

Still in progress Lessons learned?

I am particularly interested because I have a contract to sell my house to a veteran with a 100% loan, and there is a chance they will pass this new rule while the sale is in progress.

Real estate seems like the next natural progression for me. 

It be twenty units each year, or it might be progressive where it starts at 10, next year is additional 30, next is 25 years, next is 25, and the last year is another 10.

Please continue to update with the progress.

So you don't over renovate nor can you necessarily push the rent prices up exhorbinately but year after year as things start to progress you start raising rents 50-100 a month until you do start pricing out those less desirable tenants and then you renovate the house to the condition that attracts the the type of tenant you want to that fringe area.
