Like just imagine a website where you see all well-calculated and ready-to-buy deals of real estate and a place where you monitor your property investments like how much they are worth.

I am ready to put some of this knowledge into play and get to work.

Get rid of debt, build a budget, and save.

I need money to build this facility.

.- Tax Benefits: building deprecation, cost segregation, write offs etc..- Principal debt paydown: tenant paying off your loan.- Cash flow.Once the above are all added up, your true Rate Return will by far exceed your returns with stocks.Now regarding the different type of real estate, that depends on a lot of factors and mostly on your financial goals and where are you in life today.

Also, what is the age of each building and the major systems?

Sorry you had that headache with the office building!

Make your own signs if you are determined to do this.I'm not a fan of open houses for a lot of reasons, so understand their reluctance to do it, but lots of agents want to do it, so normally in our office the experienced agents don't do them, but there are lots of new agents who have been told this is a good way to build their business.   

My plan is to essentially by up the scrap lots left in newer subdivision neighborhoods by big developers, build sub 2,000 sqf single family homes, and market them between 200,000$ and 300,000$.

How you build out your STR will provide the most margin of safety in the majority of markets.
