Hi BP family,I am a new investor looking to expand into fix and flips in California with financing and construction team in place.

I bet you don't have any friends who want to do this at your age so when you tell people about your dreams they say it's crazy.

Your best bet is to contact the County you plan to build in (Miami-Dade County or City of Miami) and see if a stamped set of plans is required for the development of land and building Deparment permits.

Construction skills, loan skills, financing skills, legal understanding, real estate transaction skills, etc all greatly help.Personally I wouldn't deal with someone that has no money, lacks experience, or some kind of resources. 

The home was new construction and the builder needed to offload it to recoup funds and pay workers, so I got it at a small discount.

As a new investor, your best bet is to start small with an app like DealMachine or Propstream so you have direct control of your options.

I saw some red flags and some complaints about how they handled some construction with asbestos in the house.

.- 5 month permitting (Much longer than anticipated)- 160 days of vertical construction - The storms set us back on a few builds because it caused us to delay our septic instillation.

Louis]A comparison between household formation and new home construction shows a significant housing shortage.

I was the original and only owner of a new construction property built in 2005.
