So I'm hoping to build connections with like-minded investors and to expand knowledge within the house flipping side of investing.

I think most would disagree with the 15 year strategy but if you can afford it, its not a bad plan to build up some equity.

This project features 1 of the 3 buildings with one being ONLY for AirBnb purposes.

Would convert to flex building.

Unfortunately, building houses is very cash intensive.  

A well-thought-out property management plan, ongoing learning, and optimization are all necessary for building a successful real estate portfolio and achieving financial independence.Good luck!

Same owner has a 2nd lot to build behind me.  

Sell your current home and build on the land?

Investing is a great way to build on generational wealth, you will be required to take risks.

If your goal is to flip and you get good at marketing, you may end up with a wholesaling business, but I wouldn't try to build a wholesaling business.
