I'd start by seeing what pieces you already have lined up for building the project. 1.

Some reasonable- a roof and ceiling repair from a major leak... some not so reasonable (they literally made me escrow the cost to add a deadbolt to a door).

I've been using QB for the last 2 years for Project Tracking on my rehab flips. 

Purchase price: $272,000 Cash invested: $115,000 Sale price: $475,000 This was our first rehab project What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Lease options are the vehicle of choice here, until I sort out how to get to the other side of the ceiling imposed by debt to income ratio.

I came back to Ohio and started working for a construction company, and have been there since. (2017) Currently I manage an asphalt plant for them in Columbus.I haven't done a ton of real estate investing, but have a strong understanding of construction, and project management. 

PLUS, you'll gain landlord/property management experience and project management experience.All the best to you on your journey!

Some of the CoC are so low (and some of the projected appreciation is also low) that I ask myself, why wouldn't I just invest in government bonds instead.

Congrats on the project.
