This is a tear down - my group bought it a year ago. It was a tear down in a very desirable area. It took a long time to receive the demolition permit. Demolition just started about a a couple of days. We are still waiting for the the building permit to start construction. ARV is in the 700k price range. We have the private money funds secured already

Lessons learned? Challenges?

Ground up construction takes longer to complete and you need an experienced team to help you accomplish you goals - You also need to address soft cost first - survey, engineering report, architectural drawings, demolition permit (asbestos report, pest control report) etc, before you go for the hard cost
