Welcome to BP Michael,These forums are a great place to learn and meet people, whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned investor.

I've never once asked anyone to "Be my mentor", but now I have several people that I consider to be my mentors.

lots of good people to connect with. anything related to new construction please reach out. we focus on the downtown and downtown adjacent markets where price per square foot is some of the highest in all of central ohio.

Will the jays train people on what to avoid?

Assume a 10 minute shower by two people every day.

The other 1% of the time people, who are liquid, can pay the loan off by doing the same thing: request a payoff statement with wire instructions and then send in the wire.

Here in the smokies, people did great last year doing this…so far this year i think it has dried up very quickly. 

Hi @Barriet DeBoseOne thing to remember when you are getting into RE investing is to have your team of people or as Brandon Turner from the Bigger Pockets Podcast calls it your CORE 41.

We learned to rely on our network to find the right people for the type of work we needed.

I am not an expert in this area but I'm thinking I could possibly use my HELOC for the land and get a construction loan to build the home and once finished roll it into a conventional second home loan.
