I would recommend speaking to a lender to see what you're pre-qualified or pre-approved for (if you're ready to take action), so then you have a realistic amount that can be financed.

With any pre-construction deal you buy into, you're getting a discount and, the earlier you buy, the higher the discount.

Make the space adaptable for both short-term and mid-term rentals, incorporating smart amenities.

I'm looking to build a 2500 sq ft two level ecofriendly single-family home which incorporates natural surrounding into the design, I'm trying to figure out what my cost should be for architectural plans: elevation, floor plan, mechanical, plumbing, electrical, etc.  

So I'm in talks with a lender to get pre-approved and already have an agent who's been extremely helpful in providing spreadsheets of contacts for any specialists I'll need during the real estate investing process.

I'm interested in discussing cutting-edge techniques that professionals are using to adapt to the current market trends.Some areas of interest include:Technology Integration: How are you incorporating new technologies like AI, VR, or blockchain in your day-to-day operations?

Green buildings not only have lower operating costs but also offer health benefits for occupants.Renewable Energy Sources: Incorporating solar panels, wind turbines, and other renewable energy sources can significantly reduce energy costs and appeal to environmentally conscious consumers.Smart Home Technologies: From smart thermostats to energy-efficient lighting, smart home technologies help reduce a property's carbon footprint while providing convenience to occupants.Investing in the FutureInvesting in technology and sustainability is not just about being environmentally responsible; it's also a smart financial strategy.

The benefit is you do not have to pull on the $$ right away and payments are interest only.A conventional cash-out refinance could work if you can show income and there is no pre-payment penalty unlike a DSCR loan.

@Jake Posner- thanks for the post ...if you plan on needing financing for the rental proeprty - make sure to get  fully pre approved  for the hypotehtical  scenario you are planning ...use a loan officer or lender that is licensed is all the states  you are looking at . thanks 

I plan on using DSCR loan and have a pre-approval.
