Hi Everyone,I purchased a single-family home in Erie, Pennsylvania and I recently had a property surveyor come and mark the property lines to build a privacy fence.

Even if you decide the East Coast is the place for you, as @Russell Brazil has stated, the appreciation of the property of the long run should continue you to build wealth for you.

You have no experience but want to build 9 houses, hmmm this will not end well. 

Developers and construction companies have adapted their strategies (Build for Rent), embracing innovation (light gauge steel construction) and diversification (new product types) to meet changing consumer needs and market demands.

Over time, your mortgage payments will consist of less interest and more principal, which means more of your payment is going towards building equity.

In 2022, I was taking SL depreciation for my rental properties (1 apartment building and 4 4-plexes).

I want to be in the community and build connections.

I bought a 12 unit building a few years ago in a town/city of 16,000.

The property is about 1 acre and has 2 buildings on the site.  

It is 2 unit building that has potential for a 3rd unit as well.
