I've been looking at some properties and before I get started, I wanted to know does anyone have any reputable General Contractor/Contractor along with property manager in Columbus, GA because I haven't had much of luck in that department yet?

I’m thinking a small town could be a great place for me to start compared to big cities.

Then once I find a property that I like to buy I'll start looking at the comps in the area that have been rented and are currently on the market to be rented and make sure that my mortgage payment will at least break even with the rental comps.I'm using rough estimates on Zillow and websites alike.

I think everyone's situation is different, and when one crafts their buy box, they need to consider their current family and finances.For me, when I started, I wanted to buy 2-4 unit distressed properties in neighborhoods I wanted to live. 

@Derick Jennings Without knowing more about your situation, I'd likely recommend a house hack, a strategy I wish I would have known about when I got started.

As a PRO member, I purchased this 8-week Momentum package two weeks ago and am still waiting for the Zoom Meeting information, as it starts tomorrow at 2:00 p.m.

@Mike Levene cost to build per square foot is $200-$300 depending on finishes.So, you can start with that.

It’s great to see you starting your wholesaling journey here in Houston.

Start small and make your mistakes then.Don’ttrust me.

We asked to escalate but haven't heard back yet.
