Hi @Randall Owens,I would be happy to chat and tell you more about the construction management turnkey services we offer and outline how we can assist with getting your residential project to completion:) Let's connect.

The cost of construction was insane. 

Its a gamble to go the permit route or not in Philly and absolutely matters the neighborhood/your neighbors as they are usually the folks that will call L&I on you OR if your property is near other construction sites where inspectors would be traveling to/from. 

I own a construction company and would manage them and manage maintenance myself, and likely even rent a unit to myself to keep it simple (I’ve been a resident manager before too).

There is of course the agents, the brokers, the mortgage and lending side, the title companies but also the whole construction side would be part of real estate.

This way you will start building a base here and learning the construction side of things. 

I am confident in handling the construction as I have experienceWhat really matters to me is that are there margins in this market to make money from scratch up?

Labor shortages and increasing material costs are increasing construction costs for fix-and-flip investors.

I thought to open a new thread about Blacktip Construction Group who has taken peoples deposits.

It is not a one day process...just be ready to spend some time on this phase before you start construction/rehab on your future deals.Please share your building permit  experience in City of ATL  ..............................................
