Thanks Hey Alan, Local New Englander and DSCR broker here...1.

Hi there, I am based in USA but from England originally.

PS Know anyone in New England?

In my mind, "landlord" and "landlady" sound like terms from old England.  

Your approach to calculating the maximum construction size within a specified budget is enlightening.Based on your figures, I've noted the project budget as follows: Land Acquisition: $8,000 Utilities and Tap Fees: $7,000 Engineering, Building Permits, and Architect Fees: $5,000 Construction Cost: $180,000 (at $160 per square foot for up to 1,125 square feet) Total Project Cost: $200,000This budget underscores the critical importance of efficient cost management, especially in balancing project size and quality within the financial limits.Considering my project will be situated in New England, where costs tend to be higher, I've adjusted the budget to reflect a 40% increase in utilities, tap fees, engineering, building permits, and architect fees relative to the costs you've outlined for Ohio.

I am not qualified to make any assumptions about the real estate market in Mexico, the only market I'm familiar with is certain areas in New England, and there are many micro-markets here I wouldn't make any assumptions about.

This thread's for all my fellow New England investors looking for answers amidst this year's downturn.

We are actually looking for a good accountant that is familiar with real estate investors in New England.

Is there anyone based in England and investing in England?
