I own a multi-use building on main street in Mount Vernon, Iowa, 2 story with retail on first floor (restaurant) and two apartments upstairs. 

Columbus OH, we work with a Charlotte land developer here on larger sites like 30 acres and up not sure how big but your niche size is great. we do development, licensed general contractor, and build single family and multifamily we have a few new Floorplans every few months and I travel nationally to be an advocate for our market. it's wide open. high absorption potential and only 8 builders who build over 50 houses a year in our market. 

Collaborate with fellow investors, real estate agents, lenders, property managers, and industry experts to obtain valuable insights and support.Begin by making small investments in properties like duplexes, triplexes, or small apartment buildings.

Done a little of many things, I'm 24 and want to keep building my skills repairing homes as I feel there will be more of this work in the future.

Additionally, CA was on the cusp of launching CA community solar, whereby a developer could build solar projects and sell the power to the utility, however, it's on hold pending the final CPUC decision, and it doesn't look promising.

There is opportunity building houses, but should someone who doesn't know which end of a hammer to hold start building one himself?!?

It is a catch 22 about building a team - you can't really do it for real without having a property. 

If you or you know anyone looking to build a relationship for providing Gap funding, flips, properties lets talk.

@Gino BarbaroI love your approach as I have a similar approach.Go big or go home isn’t always the right approach.As you note, in a market where one has a strong existing footprint, it’s easy to pick up additional smaller assets.That’s what we do in Greenville SC.It’s our only market and we own buildings that range in size from a triplex to 181 units - doesn’t matter to us.

Historic average is about 60 buildings for sale at any time, so we are way down.
