If anyone plans on doing short term rentals to some degree or building additional living space, then this is imperative. 

My plan is to D4D or pull list from county and begin marketing on a small scale but with a buyers mindset (whatever doesn't meet my criteria, ill whole sale) I am a little lost or should I say would like to get investor opinions on my plan and gain some insights from you all.I don't know much about financing or rehab I have never done it and it feels intimidating while supporting a family

Many beginners jump in without a plan leading to mismatched goals and markets.

I do plan to manage it myself, at least to start.

Then it actually is a solid plan to mimic the rain by spraying a hose around the house.

The only true way to price new construction is to design the basic plan, then price all the finishes from the least expensive to the most expensive options you would put in. 

And we had an investor who sent a piece of mail asking to buy land from us, which we said “yes, we were about to work with a realtor in about 2 weeks, but if you could get things done faster for us, we’d love to work with you if you could take care of all the issues that come with the house”.

I am planning on doing floors, bathrooms, new AC, and other things so most of the house is getting fixed up.

So, again be careful and get started on your due diligence!
