Since this is a real estate forum, I'd just clarify what someone could buy the real estate for and what your lease terms would be.How many sq ft?

One is better than most so you're definitely making progress.

It's exciting to see your focus on building a real estate portfolio for financial freedom!

I don't think rent to retirement can vet a deal any better than anyone else or you, they just have a bit of a system. but the new builds in Lehigh acres, Cape Coral, north port, etc are all garbage. septic systems, poor economics, low rent to purchase price ratios, you are banking on appreciation and buying at market. building direct is going to give you a competitive advantage on a 3 unit let's say worth 600,000 you are going to be 120k ahead than if you bought it through them. that's my analysis. if you are super lazy and too busy to make money and have millions to throw around then I'd recommend not thinking much about investing. but you can also invest in funds and be way omre passive than buying a new build from far away. but if you want to add real value then get involved and make it happen. getting wealthy isn't easy. you work hard for your money and there are build to rent developers like us that try to answer and add value to start buiding relationshipsl

Another key change is making sure your contractor actually sticks to completion deadlines...why, because of how extremely tedious permit inspectors are getting in some cities, which can slow progress in and of itself.

There's a big disconnect in Detroit's home prices vs the progress there, and I believe it will continue to close.

Some have closed deals, others have deals under contract, and any progress (big or small) is celebrated.    

What are some real estate goals you want to accomplish this year? 

Its a slow learning process if you havent been in the lending, investing or real estate world before.
