Please don't take it the wrong way, it's really constructive criticism: it sounds like you really do not know enough about this type of deal to take a stab at it, regardless of if it's a good deal or not.There's a good and bad way to invest: top down and bottom up.

Hi Guys - brand new member here... hoping for some good advice. Fiancee and I are building a brand new home. It's fairly large (4400 Sq/6 bedrooms) We will own it free and clear and should be completed around April...

New construction, spec building and pop tops are the trend closer to downtown.

I really like construction as a lifestyle, but need to create income for retirement and to build some wealth.

I've been in the construction business all my life.

The area was tied to construction, and it died.

I am an HUD inspector so I get all over the placeI don't want to rent this one.

The damages decreased after that.Another tip is to get to know your assigned inspector.

I want to end my lease due to the construction work that needs to be done on the unit.

A few years later I took my love and passion for real estate into the construction arena and became a Licensed Commercial Mason Contractor and Residential Builder.
