I have been investing out there for several years, but am now looking for true partnership of boots on the ground to do light rehabs for my fix and hold strategies.

For ground up construction, I’ve heard good things about the Real Estate Investing Mastermind and some construction specific groups like The Collective.

Rehab consisted of complete gut renovation of kitchen/dining area, new hardwood floors and refreshed bathrooms (new vanity and paint).I am bullish about the long-term appreciation prospects of the property and have trouble envisioning the hold strategy over the next 10-15 years. 

If you ever want to compare notes on different markets or hear how investors are structuring deals down here in Memphis, happy to share what I’m seeing on the ground. 

Another Sweet spot is a small building or ground floor condo on main street usa with a ton of foot traffic.

Laminate flooring comes in a variety of styles and can mimic the look of hardwood, which can add elegance and continuity throughout the home.

Quote from @Bala Nagarajan: Hi everyone,I’m a first-time landlord in Massachusetts, living on the second floor of my two-family home while renting out the first-floor unit to a Section 8 tenant.

Have owned properties as old as year 1840, and 1870, 1890; they're not built to any code, sometimes built by owners with limited skills, sometimes built before indoor plumbing ( easy way to tell the only bath is on the first floor next to the kitchen and no baths on second floor where there are bedrooms. 

This will be my first ground-up project, and I have no prior real estate experience.

It will have a smaller footprint - 1,250 sq ft of office 1st floor, 1,250 sq ft apartment 2nd floor.
