Also should I try for the same field?

I have been researching and deal crunching, and now I have some questions that I am hoping ya'll can field! 

Do some reading on the topic and you will see who serves this field and brings real knowledge to what they do. 

Knowledge is power.to @Nicholas Field sounds like you changed your footprint if you are framing in a bathroom?

I second and third what @Kevin Wood (an expert in the field for sure) and @Karl McGarvey mentioned.  

@Christopher Hernandez the applicants should be asked a few questions to narrow the field.

It’s nice to get an idea of what individuals already in the field of REI are doing.

As far as your question, the construction industry is expanding and already a pretty large part of Bakersfield, being that a majority of construction companies in the area are focused around oil field construction. 

I am new to the investing field. 

FHA loans are optimal for 3- and 4-units specifically because conventional loans (as I understand them) jump up to 15% down for those assets, while FHA loans are still feasible at 3.5% down.FHA loans are notorious for being cumbersome and I've had some clients miss out on properties because of the loan, but when you're looking at a 3-4 unit the buyer pool is largely looking at the same metrics (cash on cash, ROI, etc) and that levels the playing field significantly.
