Instead, we should focus on developing healthy financial habits, living within our means, and setting realistic goals to achieve financial security and stability.Why "FINANCIAL HEALTH" is a better goal than financial freedom. 

I have found that in Texas, clay soil will cause foundation issues.

SO, I mentioned this to Eddie Speed and we had a healthy insightful discussion. 

I'd say that if you buy in Roxborough (the city calls it an economically healthy neighborhood about 20 minutes outside Downtown), you could get a rehab for about $110k at least (a 1,000 sq ft home), a turn key (also 1,000 sq ft) for about $160k+.

So check my logic:I look at the home value of the home in 2019, then I give it a good generous appreciation of 6% a year on a healthy normal market value of growth for the 3 years.

I think your mental health is worth more than that. 

We obviously want a good conversion rate and again, depending on market and seasonality, we will know a healthy conversion rate.

Checking with the departments one by one for each land listing that looks promising seems very inefficient.Regarding costs, i hear build costs of containers vs stick built being similar, but I had wondered if that is taking all aspects into consideration like build time, foundation and site prep requirements, etc. yes, steel cutters and welders are a special trade but the structure can arrive pre-built and potentially just sit on concrete pier foundations if the soil and zoning allows.

Overall, Raleigh's housing market is in a pretty healthy condition especially if you like the appreciation aspect.  

Looks like you got a great attitude for this, looks like healthy markets, you just got to execute.
