Regardless of what I got I felt more comfortable in the construction business.  

My first thought is that if I can generate a design for 6 houses and shared community green space(rather than individual yards).

I have always loved looking at houses and buildings, architecture and interior design.

The more comfortable you get and the more deals you buy, the better the deals are that you'll start to see...and you can start getting selective with time.

I'd definitely check with your broker on this one, since there are different liabilities that they may not be comfortable taking on.2) What services are you providingYour first clients will probably be people just getting started, so you need to consider their needs.  

Anyone have a good template or design for postcards?

I've always been a fan of real estate in terms of design/architecture, investing, and growth potential.

Once you learn where our war zone are, we only have a few, you will be more comfortable in the better cashflow areas. 

I would think that means you are becoming comfortable with identifying some good deals.  

After I'm under contract, I'll continue to address the higher risk items until I'm totally comfortable with the budget and scope.
