I would much prefer to maximize the square footage of the home sitting in the pad in order to appeal to larger pool of interested parties (Buyers or Tenants).As far as an improvement to life being to live in a tiny home?

For example, does buying the land in cash prior to obtaining a construction loan more appealing to a bank?

Good house, good area very very bad entry door/curb appeal. 

However, the idea that you should waive a home inspection to make your offer more appealing is one of the biggest real estate myths of 2021.

Even if the federal eviction moratorium cases get appealed to the supreme court, that doesn't necessarily affect state eviction moratoriums.

This way you will be able to meet and learn from local investors who are investing in whichever niche is most appealing to you. 

In order to get it rent-ready, I’m finding most of the properties I do need new windows & doors, kitchen, baths, flooring, and curb appeal to try and maximize the value.

Put on a new roof that increased the curb appeal and that was it.What was the outcome?

For example, now, with interest rates as low as they are it might not be a good choice because when you go to refinance at the end of the initial period you might have a hard time finding as low of a rate as you could today, and thus you would've been better off obtaining a fixed-rate mortgage at today's rates.So, I feel like I don't hear about this type of structuring a lot, and I'm wondering if I'm missing some things that I would only know if I had experience doing it (i.e. how hard it is to refi out of the ARM, or realistic rates during the initial period), or that I'm just not hearing about it now because it's not as appealing giving interest rates today.

If you are committing to the purchase, tackle the unit that needs the least amount of work first, additionally turn your focus on curb appeal.
