Try to stay close to home if you can.

First, as I previously mentioned, if a tenant stays beyond the expiration of the lease, and the landlord accepts the next month’s rent, the tenant then is assumed to be renting under a month-to-month agreement.

Would love to connect and knowledge share. 

You need to take that knowledge from building homes, the building construction you know gives you a huge advantage on what you can buy something for and fix it up for after purchase.

They seem to leave actual construction knowledge of any kind to Caveat Emptor.Anyhow, relevant to the OP, nothing stops you really from getting a license.

There is a small cost to do this, but you will also need to pay and provide documentation each year to stay in compliance.

I like to stay within 10% of the "top" rents with existing tenants.

Outside of the opportunity to build my knowledge base on how things flow from an investment standpoint, I am given the opportunity to do something in advance before my clients.

Hi Celestin, Welcome, I think you'll find this forum to be a wealth of knowledge, If I can help with any construction or GC information please don't hesitate to ask. 

Maybe if your average guest stays a night or two.
