The budget is $174,000 so I would need to find someone who can do construction for under $90/per sq ft.

Discounts on new construction, wanting to use a house hack strategy, available FHA financing, insurance costs in FL.

During our monthly market study, Marion Oaks (Ocala) consistently stands out as the area with the highest demand for new construction housing.Below are some of the markets we analyze, along with their average months of housing supply: - Palm Bay: 3.4 months - North Port: 4 months - Port Charlotte: 5.4 months - Marion Oaks: 2.2 months - Silver Springs: 2.8 monthsStudy Criteria: Single-Family Homes Built in 2022 or later, 1400-2400 sqft.

I suppose I should have specified, but I am looking to invest in the US as the limitations and opportunities in Canada for the criteria I am looking for; Class C, Construction 1980's and newer, Price $12M-$17M, with 100 units or more is highly challenging to acquire, here in Canada.

Also, the city's building code could be different as far as the required fire rating for party/shared walls, etc, thus the construction costs could be higher.

Hi,We have contracted for a new construction home with a builder.

With that said, the inspector had no issue with there being a 3rd unit.

I guess dust is not settled yet...I hear that everyone is saying it's case by case...and everything is negotiable!!!I'm wondering though...if you buy a new constructon, will builders still pay for a buyer's agent fee?

I have even seen twice city inspectors walk buildings for other issues that have illegal basement units and as long as unit looks like a legal unit (normal ceiling height and two egresses) they didn't even say anything. 

I currently work in construction and have some experience in all aspects of building.
