There's also the other moving pieces that come up with any kind of new construction (cost overruns, adhering to timelines, finding a good general contractor, etc), so it sounds like a pretty big decision with lots of things to look at.In my market, build-to-rent properties rarely make sense, even in today's real estate climate, but I know of others who are making it work in markets where the rent prices are higher.

Also, the prices are fairly expensive and you have to deal with an extreme climate which will cut into your bottom line.

In our current real estate climate, if there is multiple offers, and FHA offer will not be likely considered seriously.   

I am seeing many investors changing their investment criteria and hold off buying while others are still sticking to their guns and buying up deals, despite the current climate in the US. 

With such serious topics as; COVID, climate, immigration, the economy and housing, partisan approaches to housing and the inclusion or exclusion of congressional support can dictate different directions we could be heading.Certainly at the top of investor’s minds is the Biden proposed elimination of the like kind exchange provision, tax code section 1031.

I do wish it would have been better, but, in this climate, even that is a decent 'find' so it seems. 

Like you, we wanted the flexiblity to return to our house but we found the current climate just too unpredictable to stay with short term (Airbnb).

Hello BiggerPockets Community,I am working on a renovation project to replace a central heating plant with decentralized heating, cooling and domestic hot water and would love to hear about other people’s experience with this type of project.The building has 15 one-bedroom apartments and is located in Connecticut (climate zone 5).

An abundance of fresh water, a moderate climate, no major threats from natural desasters.

Austin's culture and climate are really biased toward growing more out of profits and conservatism, which I would also argue are more founder friendly for slicing the pie.
