We built a single family home version of a 2 bed 1 bath with surface parking at cost with no profit all in with land for 175k in newark ohio, a suburb of columbus ohio. when we push that to 3 units and closer to the city for our build to rent model the numbers go way better. a 30k slab for a single family home is 30k, a 30k slab for a triplex is 10k a door. we designed a 2 bed 1 bath design at 668 sq ft and it's very good layout even I would live there, but I would never build anything that small again. there's no economies of scale. you need density and shared lines, resources, shared roof shared slab, shared windows, etc the cost goes way down.

With it being in a planned neighborhood, all the cabins design wise are the same, but ours has even better views. 

I've looked at every model of every new build of every company I can find and there's always problem with design, returns, etc.

build, rent, refinance, repeat. different strategy but more scalable. land is a buyer's market in most cities in america with more than 6 months supply. in our market in columbus it's more than 12 months supply of land. no one is doing this strategy and you can customize your design to anything you want.

You'll have a bigger footprint to add cool design elements and offer more amenities to guests. 

Our goal for the projects we flip and the projects we design for other investors is to figure out how to get the same look at a fraction of the price. 

After designing over 100 flips in twelve states, here are the key areas in which we've found the best ROI on flips:1.

Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and Bankrate, the big perks of an FHA home loan are:Lower Down Payments: They typically require a smaller down payment than conventional loans, sometimes as low as 3.5% of the home’s purchase price.Lower Credit Score Requirements: They’re designed to help buyers with credit scores that might not qualify for conventional financing.

I heard this too but their platform is still just as clunky as it was 10 years ago when I first used it, and the design looks just how I remembered it . . . 

For it’s part, Fannie Mae historically has focused more on purchasing mortgages from larger financial institutions, while Freddie Mac was originally designed to support smaller/regional/thrift institutions.
