I strongly suggest you mark up the house a little and sell it or as described before, place a tenant in the house and sell it as a turn key model.  

After honing your skills as a nose-to-nose salesperson, learn how to multiply your sales efforts and clone yourself by becoming a skilled marketer and effective copywriter.Eventually, you are likely to discover a niche that you want to further explore and gain expertise.

You just build your home with some good features and advance design and model that one should like in one look. 

Have your real estate agent run comps for you and provide a full CMA (comparative market analysis).If you don't know how to adjust comps, pulling them yourself on sites like zillow, trulia, etc won't help much unless you get lucky and find a model match in similar condition with similar amenities.

Thanks for connecting & for sharing some of your expertise. 

I have so many ideas in regards to it that it is truly a unique business model I am building- at least i think so.  

Ali,Thanks for sharing your expertise.  

@Brian Burke - there's nobody quite like you :)Hey BL,It was a pleasure catching up.Thanks for smashing and annihilating our entire business model haha - Love you for it mateGet ready for some videos on Monday hahaThanks and have a great day ;)

You're definitely preaching to the choir here when you mention buy and hold.And I think your model, while maybe not providing the best returns for an investment property strategy, might have a much lower risk level and/or be much easier to manage than most other typical portfolio strategies as well. 

My name is Louis Bergman and I'm based in the Sunshine State.Feel free to check my profile for more details.Together with my son and his wife we run Hawthorn Enterprises LLC, which does Commercial Money Brokerage with as specialty Multifamily Projects.For practical purposes we do not deal with individuals, as we prefer to work with non-recourse Loan programs.We also buy for our own portfolio, or partner up with other Investors/Developers who want us to commit our financial expertise to their projects for a longer term.We originally started out as "ugly house investors", and fairly soon evolved into the much more rewarding Multifamily playing field.I'm very impressed with the positive way in which biggerpockets has developed itself, and it will be a pleasure to contribute to the membership whenever I can.Thank you for having this great Forum, and I look forward to being an active member.
