However I would say those lenders would be more willing than a bank to write the mortgage, and after completion you can refinance it.Overall, its probably easier and better use of your time to just find another house that doesn't require the construction and where the numbers make sense.

I’ve been meaning to write a blog post on how to do it - I’ll eventually get around to doing it.

Then you can just let it write out the whole length of your mortgage.

I'm an independent agent here in AR and I write a lot of rental property, with ~6 preferred markets and if the properties have some issues, age, claim history etc.

If communication is an issue, consider getting everything in writing or checking reviews for more feedback.

You can also write off expenses such as property management, insurance, repairs, etc.

You can write the best guide but people want information for credible sources so you might want to clarify all of that or it might be an obstacle all along.3.

For a PMC to charge a renewal fee just to write a new lease is a BS fee though. 

He's getting the paperwork together as I'm writing this to make it official.

Fees should be clearly stated in writing, easy to understand, and justifiable.
