Please reach out if I can be of any service for primary or investment new construction across central Florida. 

While driving for dollars, I’ve come across a neighborhood that’s older but is surrounded by new construction.

Hey Tony,None of those are bad options, honestly if you have paid off investment properties; the best terms are probably going to come straight from a cash out refinance.Line of credit is a good option due to only paying on what you use but if your planning to start construction immediately I would go with the cash out, its going to be less headaches as well.

Site cleaning is consistently understated in rehab construction budgets. 

Inspections are very good for homeowner buying a primary residence because its a huge purchase in their life and they usually have little knowledge or experience, but many experiencedinvestors myself included feel confident that we will see most anything an inspector would. 

Inspectors can be lazy louts who are just working toward retirement or they can be so picky they fail rentals for the smallest of issues, including dirty drip pans on the stoves and mildew around the tub. 

My mistake was locking in the 30K for the furnishing and construction to make into a “better” STR property.

Does anyone know what the landlord is supposed to do when construction will be occurring on the premises? 

- You may want to get a home inspector to tell you what needs to be addressed.How will you get any needed repairs done?

The construction cost of the units is also relatively straightforward.
