This truly is a good community of folks.  

Think about your long term strategy.

Is anyone aware of a good data sheet that provides some basis for OpEx?

As long as you have a good layout, I feel there is more opportunity in the older home space, IF bought at the right price.

Good luck.

While the initial costs are a consideration, the long-term ROI can be favorable if there's sufficient demand in your market.

I have a pretty good response rate and I am about to start my first set of follow up letters.

I’ve had good and bad on either platform.

It’s great you want to do the labor yourself, but it might be a good idea to work with someone a bit more experienced to start off.

Many thanks in advance,Victor Talking with my friends contractors in the area... some of this contractor offered very low price for their projects betting to build many units and market changed and they simply started to file bankruptcy... when comparing cost it's common you will find higher costs ... been in this market last few years, houses will start to move again in the next months in a normal cycle (not pandemic cycle) , if you're goal is getting long term rental in place for delay gratification...
