Anthony,

I appreciate the input.  When we are starting to get close to finishing maybe we could been and you could stop by to see it in person?

Thanks

Appreciate the information! The parking for the ADU will run along the side of the primary w plenty of space for back to back cars. The primary will have parking in front of it for 3 side by side and back to back. Plus the street isn't a busy one. My thoughts are to have a fire pit area in between the units since each will also have their own terraces. See prelim site plan

Here are the prelims.  

Hi guys,

New to this site. Was about to embark on a new construction project in Gainesville. Being a UF grad I've thought about investing in Gainesville for a while now. I just bought a lot which I'm now splitting due to the new SFR zoning. It will be a 50'x100' lot with a two story primary 3bd 3.5ba 2 car garage 1500sqft and a 2b 2.5ba ADU unit in the back. I've built before in Miami and Melbourne but never in Gainesville. I was just wondering if I could get all your thoughts? Type of construction materials for the build(block/metal frame/wood frame), separate utilities, finishes, tech, cleaning crews, any tips and tricks would be HUGE! My idea is for this to be a STR since proximity to Ben Hill is only 8 blocks. STR each unit separately or as a larger home, not sure your thoughts.

Thanks

Steve

Hello,

Was going to start construction on a two story 3bd 3.5ba 1500sqft primary home and a 2bd 2.5ba 800sqft ADU. Looking for suggestions on any specific building materials, fixtures, accessories, furniture, and tech for a STR. It would be mainly rented to alumni, parents of students and people exploring the area by the University of Florida. Its about 8 blocks from the football stadium. I've built homes before but never for a STR investment.

Thanks!!

Steve
