 BTR is still a very small portion of the market in deliveries and less efficient than apartments I'd stay clear if you are new. 

 let's talk further we do new construction. in miami 

 new construction gets valued at a way higher premium. this is a false statement. new construction will always beat existing 

I wouldn't touch Alabama 

 yes how much money do you have anyone that knows it is making a lot of money you are only going to slow them down. get the wallet out and pay for advisory services. I get paid $250 per call on my knowledge right now from firms in New York and you should consider what you bring to the table 

 I'd recommend buidling over buying in miami for equity, I'd also recommend higher asset classes like hotel to increase your ability to buy land. not sure your experience or liquidity but I'm happy to discuss. I'm in land planning, entitlements, development, general contracting, disposition. all vertically integrated in columbus ohio and miami florida

 we are building 5 new builds at a time including several triplexes and the investors buy the dirt cash, refinance into a construction loan. single family approval is like 30 days multifamily is 4-5 months because of rezoning. Columbus ohio is our main market and Miami Florida let me know if either are of interest. I live in miami and lived in columbus for 12 years 

 I design build houses 1-3 family for 10k flat. I don't think you need an architect. 1-3 family is exempt in the state of florida and that's what I use for it. I live in brickell and do projects in columbus ohio just moved to miami 6 months ago. happy to take a crack at it. we own all our floorplans as intellectual property starting to look at licensing deals. we design compact well designed homes for investment but miami is a whole other animal 

 what market? we would qualify anywhere in ohio. we build 5 houses at at time in columbus ohio and multifamily as well. currently have hotel deals going and apartments up to 70 million dollar deals 

Hi all, I’m Rob Ellis with Pink Development and Construction. I’m a licensed general contractor, licensed demolition contractor (both for over 5 years), and a licensed real estate agent. I’ve been active on BiggerPockets for over 8 years, contributing thousands of posts to the community.

We specialize in new construction of single-family homes for flips and triplexes for long-term holds or sale in urban core-adjacent neighborhoods of Columbus, Ohio, where land costs are under 10% of asset value. For instance, a $450k house would have land valued at $45k, and we build triplexes for around $130k per door, with a projected value of $220k per door upon completion.

Currently, we’re building five houses at a time and can provide all addresses if needed. We also focus on larger developments of 50+ units for multifamily and hotel use, typically through equity partnerships (1-2 projects at a time).

In Miami, Florida, we offer similar projects but with higher liquidity requirements—$100k of liquid cash is recommended for Columbus, while Miami projects require at least $500k of liquid cash.

Our team is vertically integrated, managing design, construction, sales, rentals, and financing. We explore BRRR (Build, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) strategies but also focus on cash flow opportunities.
