But I would also say this could be a great way for you to get more exposure to other investors and properties in your area and by building strong relationships, you may be able to find a cost savings competitive advantage. 

I would buy a lot, build a new home on a construction loan and then refinance it on a permanent loan when house was complete.

Basically should I go out of college into a similar job and build cash for 5-10 years while investing this?

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Steve K.100% agree which is why I am against people doing seller financingThey are investing in a security instrument that is typically over leveraged because they may sell a $200k home for $220k, and get 7-8% taxed at ordinary incomeI can invest in other investments and get 8-10% taxed as qualified dividends or get depreciation and have ltv’s below 70%… throw in these borrowers are typically not underwritten properly and have a high chance of failure and I scratch my head why people think this is a great ideaI think a lot will learn the hard way in the next 2-3 yearsI’m not against seller financing, I’ve used it a few times personally to purchase in order to accelerate my ability to build my portfolio.

Where I live it's two 4plex buildings 8 apartments.

If all that you are worried about is money than you will never build relationships nor will you gain loyalty.

I’m looking for brokers who are interested in building a long term relationships!

They had received funds to build a new ferry port for commuters, a new luxury apartment building, and redevelopment project for the waterfront area.

should realtors have to build a few homes before they can sell new builds ?  

Starting to work on building my own portfolio and looking to invest out of state myself.
