My plan is to D4D or pull list from county and begin marketing on a small scale but with a buyers mindset (whatever doesn't meet my criteria, ill whole sale) I am a little lost or should I say would like to get investor opinions on my plan and gain some insights from you all.I don't know much about financing or rehab I have never done it and it feels intimidating while supporting a family

Property tax around 200/month and Insurance 130/month.Based on a Heloc at 182,000 when all is done my plan would be to do a cash out refi to pay this down/off and use remaining cash flow + W2 income to pay the rest off.

The only true way to price new construction is to design the basic plan, then price all the finishes from the least expensive to the most expensive options you would put in. 

Hopefully you plan on doing $25k & avoiding seasoning to grow faster 

@Connor HeatonRead the specific HOA agreements for each community you plan to invest.

something to note i plan on doing private loans and house flipping down the road also.

@Zeke PalmerIf you aren't planning to hold then I would invest in Cleveland/Dayton where the margins are a bit better

I plan to self manage.  

@Henry Clark  Let's plan on Friday. 

You are on the right track but remember each specific STR market / local area is going to have some tweaks - one thing I noted is that for the markets you are looking at can vary with temperatures - some different expenses/planning for areas that can have winters (snow, etc) that wouldn't be standard in other markets
