That's pretty  much on que for your home market-- Austin. 

My wife and I are looking to buy our first home in the DFW metroplex.

You will get the typical pitch for a mentorship program at the end.

If you buy the "on sale" office building, it will cost some money to convert, but if the savings is there on the initial buy price to more than make up for it...And then let's say 5 or 10 years from now the "work from home" fad is over and offices are in demand again.

We have a small mobile home park in Indiana that we are in the process of stabilizing.

People make their mind up about you within 4 seconds, typically....whether you are or are not somebody they'd like to do business with. 

Are there any house plan websites that are specifically geared toward investors for spec homes?

Still, two things to consider are that typically, lenders charge a higher interest rate for IO-only loans.

Found this one when a friend was first-time home shopping and he decided to pass.

I am currently going to college majoring in RE, and right now I am involved in an internship with a big home builder (PulteGroup) where i am learning the role of construction managers, which can help me in the future if i want to BRRRR or fix & flip.
