I know of one particular loan program in Columbus (I'd need to see if they service Dayton) that offers 0% down for owner-occupants.

I appreciate you chiming in, I may be overstepping my comfort zone with Sheboygan for now! 

If the borrower doesn’t pay us every$3.2 million by Jan 15, we file the deeds, and have two offers for the properties in the $3.9 - 4 million range.  

On the other hand, a detailed quote with a higher total may offer more transparency and reduce the risk of surprises as the project progresses.I specialize in consulting services for situations like this, where I help clients evaluate contractor quotes, ensure transparency, and navigate the renovation process with confidence.

Start with a standard offer, and write a contingency into it for electricity, all the below ground utilities, and then work your way to zoning, permitting etc.

While an LLC offers liability protection, it does not change how taxes are reported unless treated as a partnership or corporation.

If you haven't already, you should research the stats on Furnished Finder to see how many people are looking for a midterm rental, how many units are currently available and the configuration and prices hosts are offering.

I would say get connected with a local agent and also set up with a lender that has you pre approved to make it super easy making offers.

I found this quote that you posted:  "Also proud to say our quads and duplexes (which are rarely offered by other builders) have not only exceeded our estimates for rent & rent growth but value growth as well."

These areas might have higher property prices, but they can offer premium rental rates and higher occupancy.
