Do you look for an acre with city water and electricity and build on that or do you put in your own?  

@MarkWelcome to Bigger Pockets and I wish you all the best in your investing journey!!

Depends on your budget and location.

I started investing in Phoenix in my 20s too, and it's been quite the adventure.About your F1 visa situation, while I'm not an attorney or CPA, I had a client a while back in a similar postion.

DevinYou have done the rental comps and checked how long a house stays on market in your area before it rents out right?

@Max Servais if this will be your primary residence, you will need to insure this with a Homeowners policy. 

It probably can't do any harm.The reason I say probably not worth it, is because you can talk to your local wholesalers, local REIA, local real estate agent/broker, who is also an investor, you can ask ChatGPT, etc. etc. you can find all your answers there. 

@Mark Lladas has owned a bunch in Scranton and would be a good person to connect with.

I'm assuming your daughter isn't on title for the property you're selling.
