Strong dollar means higher component costs.3.  

My point is that there are plenty of motivated participants at this price point even if the gross commission is low.  

You are correct in your assumption that it will impact how low they can go on the down payment, though, b/c commissions will need to be paid out of closing costs. 

Hey @Tori Rhodes - As a builder myself here in Chicago that is a question I hear often.Before looking into your loan options, I'd look long and hard at the cost of land and construction in your Grand Rapids area. 

They may cost more upfront, and require more work, but you'll see higher returns long term.

(wisconsin)How can I best position myself in this deal where the lender is comfortable and we have a solid prefab, but also workable to where I can keep my sale price competitive and build costs down.This lot is within spitting distance of the lake.

If your opt-out percentage is too high then it may look suspicious to the carriers; ultimately, affecting your delivery rates.The goal is to keep you opt-out percentage low while maintaining compliance. 

Maybe I'm no longer a low risk bond investor, maybe I'm parking my money in $VOO instead, CRE REITs, or perhaps higher risk higher return bonds. 

That’s a small fraction of what all that would cost in my market.

My thought is to use a HELOC for the down payment on a new property (20% down), then once I acquire it, do a cash-out refinance to pay off the HELOC while keeping my original low rate intact.
