I think the outskirts are you best bets!

Most have also been impressed to see this can be done on new construction properties.  

So a nicely decked out  cabin I bet would rent real well for STR purposes  Not sure about permits etc..

Bend - Very few places in the country with the density of luxury new construction properties being developed.Ashland - Micro Bend.

I am just struggling to figure out how I would afford the monthly interest expenses as construction on this type of project would take a ton of time and money.The building will be luxury student apartments which on my rough calculations can have realistically 60-65 apartments or 180-195 beds.

For example, if I said I did it in 3 years after constructing a property and having its equity explode immediately.

I've personally lived in Kingsport and have years of residential construction experience and have several contacts in that area that operate At the top of their respected trades.

Our company specializes in full-service property management & construction aside from sales as well, so we work with a lot of real estate investors.

Of course you are looking at touring a new development, so ideally you can talk to the construction manager/superintendent with more construction related questions:Hurdles to progress?

Trying to go to companies directly is rarely going to be your best bet.
