thank you so much, you don't know how much every answer help me to define my strategy.

This strategy has worked pretty well for us since 2017. 

Hi there,So I've been remodeling homes for a number of years and want to move into building custom homes and I was hoping to hear from people who have maybe made the same leap or any advise/things to look for in making this transition.

I highly recommend you read The House Hacking Strategy by Craig Curelop to prime your skills in that area. 

I’m most interested in the mid-term rental market but definitely open to ALL investing strategies.  

I’m mostly interested in rental properties, wholesaling, commercial properties and also fix and flip strategies.

You can utilize the forums under the strategies you are interested in pursuing and find many like-minded individuals to connect with. 

This way, you can still benefit from the rental income and property appreciation while minimizing the challenges of managing the property on your own.Wholesaling can be a profitable strategy, but before deciding to wholesale the property, evaluate the potential rental income and long-term prospects in the small town near Corpus Christi.

I want to use maybe the first dozen jobs or so as free labor for the customer.

@Dielita McKnight If you intend to fix/flip as your exit strategy I would look into wholesale deals or try and get off market deal.
