There is a big difference if you build a spec home and can make decisions as you please, or if you have to manage a client.

I am choosing to save up some capital until I can afford to handle mistakes, before I jump into a 6 figure decision.

You are trading your time for knowledge. 

Then i was like checking my Zillow views, showing requests updates from my realtor.After 2 weeks we got an application, and with initial review we didn't accepted because of income criteria and no.of people.Then no application for 4 weeks, even though showings were happening.Then my 1st Mortgage payment is coming up, i was getting confused if i made any wrong decision with Rental property investment, and then i started researching on my own, decreased it by another $50, which became 2nd lowest in that area, and mine was better home than the lowest, boom 2nd day after lowered, we got an application on Friday, and i dint accepted right away as it was not 100% to my expectations, and i want to wait through weekend to see if i get any more.

., but I can't see inside the place, what it looks like, what the renovation quality is like, etc.I'm a bit afraid of just committing to a purchase without seeing it myself, and from what I understand many of these turnkey units sell immediately after being listed, so timing is sort of important.Initially, I thought I'd ask my family who lives in the area to go check the places out for me, then make a purchasing decision, do inspections, etc.
