I am looking for a company to build a log cabin modular in New York.

My CoC return in STL is 10% now that the buildings have stabilized, it seems like the buildings are appreciating at an acceptable rate, and I have a team that I trust there (realtor, PM, contractor, lender). 

Do most newbies normally hire out a GC to build their first house? 

The appreciation in this area is already booming as it is the top two most expensive counties in the state.

Would I be able to knock down and build a new home and once I sale, I use proceeds to pay off the first bank? 

I filed eviction and got writ possession but sheriff office is saying the next available date is in September. The lease of this non paying tenant will expire before that in June. Should I reach out to tenant and dema...

I am going to build a house on it with cash and live in it.

Learn your market inside and out and build a team of people around you who can help you analyze deals and make moves.

The upside:  There is a lot of money to be made, potentially, and every door you add to your portfolio builds your company's value bigger and bigger (vs. sales, where it's a transaction and then it's over).

If your focus is to accommodate your mom and you can hold onto the property for a bit, I think you could definitely build equity and eventually generate cash flow from it.
