@Luke Hamlin you can buy a second home with 10% down with a Conventional loan.

so you're recommending that my starting point should be finding a real estate agent, utilize theirbknowledge to learn about the process, and get referrals for good loan officers.

Conventional loan What was the outcome?

So if you discount a small amount to get rolling, that is something that can work, but don't want to stay low for long.You will start to get the dregs staying at your place and they can do some real damage to the place.

Which was $42,399.08/$35,950/5×100 =  23.5He also stated the total loan was $60,000 and the payoff was $55,004.72 over 5 years....He has 1.1475/5 to get 22.9% ROI....WHAT IS 1.1475?!?!?!?!?!?

Quote from @Devin James: Gross Margin is an important calculation for developers/builders.Gross Margin = Gross Profit / RevenueWe shoot for a 20% gross margin on our New Construction HomesReal #’s:Home Sales Price: $374KClosing Cost: $18,700Cost of Construction: $258KLand Cost: $30KGross Profit = $67K$67K/$374K = 17.9% Gross MarginCame slightly short of our goal of 20%Homes Values and Build Costs are constantly fluctuatingI wish we had a crystal ball build larger homes. average new build in our market is 2200 square feet, 4 beds, 3 baths, 2 car garage and sells for 515k. construction costs lower if design is good and find the median or average home sale price and push that up. my guess is you built too small. 347k is cheap. we target 429-479k price range in columbus ohio for single family homes and also only purchase close to urban core where premiums are 20% higher and we build smaller like 1500 sq ft where price per square foot goes up. 

Make your bank stand out by ensuring FAST same day loan processing with better terms.If I owned BiggerPockets I would act on this IMMEDIATELY because it’s all about speed and execution in business. 

New loan is a 10/30.

I recommend that you find a trusted or recommended Mortgage Loan Originator (MLO), who can give you options for property-based loans (mostly investment loans) and they don't use your taxes but the P&L of the property.

We rarely have issues, but it seems like such a small investment in time and money to take one day to verify.
