@Noah Bacon Investors should be aware that, in many states, an investor can not act as Owner/Builder on a property that is not their primary residence.But as far as what Investors tend to screw up, the list is long and painful: Structural - Awful framing, undersized headers and beams (or none, Lol)Electrical - Don't even get me started......Plumbing - Not as bad as electrical but still....leave it to the Pros.And the main thing that people screw up is, believe it or not, painting.

Remember, no system is perfect, so avoid the temptation of constantly chasing after the next shiny object.

STR, long term rental?

People offer to pay cash up front or rent for a longer term in hopes of avoiding any scrutiny.

Is it a good market for long term rentals?

I agree with Kevin- I don't care about the terms or the deal, as soon as you said "family member," I'm out.

There must be a ton of capital on the sidelines, and investors are putting down more on deals for them to work.Factor in tax benefits, hedge on inflation, rents still cheaper than buying, and the investment is still compelling to some.There are deals out there, you just have to create relationships with brokers, and play the long game.

@Charles BurgessIn order to begin the process of looking at a lot in terms of potential development, it’s important to first keep in mind that a number things must be considered.

I have been hearing more about airbnb in the area of East old Brooklyn directed toward travel nurses in the area

Is that due to the long term projection looking better?
