Sometimes the cheapest option isnt the best option, and most over-the-phone rate quotes (saying "I have 800 credit and 20% down, what's your best rate?")

It’s a bit scary looking at these options but I’ve started scoping out multifamily in the PNW.  

Housing options were few.  

We often use our own workers and have the work inspected afterward to make sure it's all up to code.Is that an option for you?

Remove the kitchen all together and convert it back into two duplexes or is there another option?  

From your options, #1 is a big sink of cash and I can't tell how much that increases you rent. #2 is a no due to cash flow negative. #3 is the way to go.

Also there is a special tax abatement for office conversions but requires the developer to retain 15% as commercial use.So we have the option to stack them and consolidate.

For managing properties, I have two options: 1.

Feel free to reach out if you need help with financing options or advice!

Looking for guidance on options. new builds aren't hard to finance and I would argue they are preferred to existing fix and flip loans, especially if you have experience. banks look at your experience, your builder's experience, loan structure, permits, etc you need to get an experienced builder familiar with advanced underwriting and negotiations with local, regional, and national lenders. in columbus we do ground up construction for clients at a 20% discount so they can BRRRR out of the new build with equity and we have pages and pages of data on what we build and why and it's all supported by market statistics.
