Before being approached to help with the development costs, I had considered on buying after the development was complete; 4 lots then having 4 homes built, selling 2 and keeping the other two to rent out.

I highly recommend a well-qualified REALTOR who works with investors and knows how to help you best.7.

We are putting together a SellerFinancing Resources Guide, I wanted to get feedback to see what kinds of information you think would be helpful. 

Hope this helps!

Especially with AI becoming a bigger player, I'd love to hear how it's specifically helped your business.For example, have you used any AI-powered tools for:Identifying properties for investors?

BiggerPockets is full of resources designed to help you along your journey, whether you are just getting started or a seasoned investor.

I am trying to find a reputable realtor / agent who will help me place tenants, but also be able to help with semi-annual / annual walkthroughs (for a fee of course).

Anything helps BP community, thanks ! 

Hello, I think it’s really awesome that you’re just now beginning and you are already coming to the forums to learn so the first thing you need to do is to continue to stay on the forms and you also need to be reading all of the bigger pocketbook and start listening to their podcast to soak up as much knowledge as you can and as long as you do that, you will have all the knowledge you need to start and regarding your question I do not advise to buy a single-family house just to live in it without a rental property aspect so it’s OK if you want to live in the house as well but you will have to either get a multifamily property or you could also buy a single-family home and rent out the other rooms  now see when you have a property that you use just for your family then you have to pay the mortgage every month which is building your equity, but that responsibility is solely on you whereas if it has some sort of rental property aspect, there will be other people helping you build that equity if you were to buy a property just for yourself that is something that will be taking money out of your pocket every month while as a rental property if you buy right will be putting money in your pocket every month the only exception to what I just said is if you buy a property for yourself or just for your family to live in, you could do a live-in flip to where as you’re living in the property you rehab it while your living there and if you buy right with enough knowledge, then when you turn around to sell the property, you will make profit

So, I figured a career shift to something I'm more passionate about could only help with my goals of having success in the space down the road.
