You may have to go creative rather than conventional, but depending on where it is and what you are doing, you may be looking at anywhere between 100K-300K in soft costs (permitting, design, architecture, utility hook ups, etc.) and a construction budget of probably 1 Mil to whatever, once again depending on what you are doing and where.

Good morning Ashley, It depends on what you plan on using the HELOC for.

It's a struggle starting out and I don't think it's talked about enough in more of a blunt way, in blog posts or any article on the web, everyone seems to softly speak about the introduction part that requires money.

Good morning, Theresa, as mentioned- you need to save your time (money) and get a STR CPA.

Because I know at heart of it you wake every morning, look in the mirror, and think if you lie enough maybe you won't be disgusted by who you see looking back at you....
