You would do better in 30-day t-bills (right now ;-)The hopes an investor might have (if you purchased a property like this) are: 1) inflation to drive rents up, 2) inflation to drive property appreciation, and 3) mortgage rates to drop to refi at a lower rate in a few years.A lot depends on what someone thinks about the longer-term prospects of neighborhood they're investing in.

Go driving looking at whats out there. 

It may not be possible, but if you're going to go the appreciation route (versus cashflow), then you're best off targeting 5+ unit properties where you can force the appreciation by driving NOI.

Hope this drives home what should be prioritized when selecting your construction lender.

I do think the 25K of down payment assistance is likely to drive prices up.

I’m looking at the high rises near Lakeshore drive area.

So the asynchronous nature of tenant requests, coupled with trying to get them handed out to the right handyman, plumber, etc, are driving me insane.Is this something that can be outsourced without going to a full 3rd party property management arrangement?

-asphalt parking/driving(currently dirt with massive pot holes)(awaiting estimate form local company)-Individual metering (previous hotel, 3 different buildings(2 doors, 7 doors, and 6 doors), all on one meter)Any advice or things to consider are appreciated.

It just adds another layer of complexity to the process, it will hurt part-time agents and drive many out of business, which is frankly not a bad thing.Buyer-side commission is now no longer set as a typically uniform percentage on MLS and fully negotiable. 

@Caleb BrownWould like some advice on KC neighborhoods that are B class driving solid cashflow.
