Construction Manager vs. General Contractor

[Tommy C.]

Hey Bigger Pockets,

I’m interested in building a new home and I’m not sure whether or not I’d like to look for a general contractor or construction manager.

At the end of the day, I’d like some say as to whether or not the construction project is being conducted properly so I’m leaning towards a construction manager.

However, I'm not sure if I can get FHA financing while using a CM?? What are some pros and cons of hiring a CM as opposed to a GC?

Thanks,

Tommy
