All of my SF deals have  been with boomer+ landlords that have been self-managing for decades.I look for tired plexes like 70's builds that  need paint and window coverings with smokers and pit bulls as tenants and crude for rent signs.  

After three years, Delta Build finally completed my Cape Coral rental. 

Building, liability, and loss of income.

If you are just looking for a turnkey rental, there are probably better deals out there.I would also advise that with an unstable job, tying up a big chunk of cash into a property, might not be the wisest play to build a foundation for later.

I did this on a commercial building a few months back and the owner called me.

It's a huge building with a steep roof.

If the new build price gets over 300k. then we have lift off. 

If I build a full road to the property, I would have to build 240 feet before I would reach the corner of my lot. 

Guess probably 550,000 for a tear down and new build depending on what's required and maybe a year of down time.
