The construction cost of the units is also relatively straightforward.

I grew up in the construction business and swung a hammer since I was 12.

I am a GC evaluating building 3 unit row homes on city owned lots.  Cost to build: $280-$300K, 10 year tax abatement from city.  Has anyone done this?  How did you finance? 

As the Branch Manager for RBI Private Lending in Texas, I specialize in offering flexible financing solutions, including bridge loans, construction loans, multifamily financing, and DSCR loans.

Was previous water damage (looked ugly).Tenant was adamant.Gave tenant number to mold inspector.

A PM may have construction relationships but they are not equipped to understand the complexities of construction outside of perhaps unit turnovers.

I've been considering trying to build one on a plot lans but I'm having a tough time determining construction costs, and financing options.

For now, we were toying with flips, brrrrr, buy and hold, multi, even construction of multi, but... the numbers just do not add up in this market, so we are waiting... who knows for what... great deal or recession...

Unless you are doing construction and acting as a GC, owning a property management and leasing company as well as owning real estate, maybe then have one.

The person will assist in some prop management but largely the GP will oversee/ manage most of the deal (design, permits, construction, leasing).
