I work with investors every day that are finding our off market new construction investment properties are a great way to invest.  

New construction.

We're currently planning to finish the basement (Day-Light) of our new construction home.

What type of new construction are you referring to? 

As far as using Federal land for new construction, that might help near Jackson, Wyoming.

Due to this, we have been investigating the possibility of purchasing land and using an owner-occupied construction loan to build a new property.

An Architect, ballpark, would be anywhere from 6-10% of the Construction cost depending on who you get and the deliverables provided.

For a tenant to receive a reduction, the landlord must have actual or constructive notice of the existence of the defective condition."

When investing in New Construction, you are controlling the property for the first, BEST years of a buildings life.  

I am looking to get some type of construction to perm loan to build a primary house for myself However, I’d like to get a loan that allows as little % down as possible and allows me to be the builder.
