If only know (1) contractor, expand your network and get multiple estimates on pricing for construction 

I would like to get into real estate by becoming a small residential developer building new construction homes.

@Danielle HicksA select number of lenders will do them typically starting at a minimum of $10M.But they typically do not do them on manufactured homes.You can try and find individual investors to participate but that gets to be a lot of workThe other option is to raise money through a 506c offering and provide investors a preferred return

@Glen Wiley - what other forms of insurance do you typically get for your rental properties or does the LL insurance policy cover everything you need?

I'm curious what others have done and what is the typical sequence of events in this situation.I'm in the middle of a 6 month lease with it ending this summer. 

Their understanding of real estate is typically limited to what some youtube influencer has said on the subject. 

@Anthony Zotto Rates are typically higher for investment loans.

Typically, if the house is owned by an LLC, the proceeds from sale (check or wire, commonly wire) should be going into the LLC bank account.I am not a CPA, so please confirm any of this with your CPA, but most (if not all) sole member LLCs are disregarded entities, so from from a tax perspective it is irrelevant.  

Real estate is very competitive and the hurdle is typically capital, but you can still make it a lucrative side-hustle or a full-blown career (or anything in the middle).

Also, Texas is one of the lowest paying states in the country for travel nurses so they typically don't want to pay a lot for homes or rooms when traveling anywhere in TX.
