Below are some actionable steps I plan to take after identifying a market:- find a rock star agent by referral and/or calling brokerages and asking to connect with their top producing agents- find a rock star contractor by referral and/or yelp- have control over construction by setting per diems to incentivize contractor to finish the project on time, within budget, and with good quality- leverage my rock star agent's time to check up on the construction process (checks and balances)- hire independent handymen/inspectors to check up on the construction process for a flat fee (checks and balances) There's competition everywhere, you won't escape that in any market. 

the fee-based services seem worthwhile at least while actively looking.   

Should be permitted to install road and SWM infrastructure by summer 2025.

Another avenue would be to call your utility companies and ask about installing additional meters.

I installed cabinets, painted it, and made it back into a residential rental unit.

We also have a firm policy, always enforce late fees and deliver a notice to pay or vacate on the 6th.

I currently live in Southern Maine and am looking to construct some kind of new project rather getting into rehabbing existing residentialProposed Land Budget 100-200kConstruction Budget: 400kAll in 500-600k.I have found that if I do the site work myself including clearing, septic and digging the foundation is that i can sub contract out either steel or a Lester style building (50x150) for around 300k installed with insulation and power , divided into three 2500 square foot units. 

@Andrew Grimmett If a seller is hesitant due to capital gains taxes, consider creative solutions: suggest an installment sale (seller financing) to spread tax liability over time, a 1031 exchange to defer taxes by reinvesting in another property, or a structured sale for flexible deferred payments.

Qualified renters can opt to pay a non-refundable monthly fee instead of a traditional deposit.

There's no charge to me to get these funds except a yearly fee of 200.00.
