You would probably have to partner with someone who has a track record, or at least a reputable GC, in order for a lender to consider you for a construction loan.

Or do I use the track record I already have to my advantage and then make the switch?

You only need a place to track tenant information, payment history, maintenance, etc.

I’d be happy to jump on a quick call to go over your plan and planned budget to see if you’re on track or if there’s any strategies you may have overlooked.

This approach allowed us to proceed quickly and efficiently, ensuring the project stayed on track.

I even once had someone track me down and call me when I was the previous landlord, and tenants that I had evicted listed someone else as the landlord with my address.

If the builder never transferred title, they might try to argue that its comparable to selling a model home within a new construction developement (new home, but has had thousands of folks walking in and out for months...sometimes years).I would be confused as to why someone would offer it as new construction when it had been lived in unless their aim is to avoid capital gains, but you say lived in a few months and not two years so that does not track.

Hi Michael,I've found that people will find you with their money if you establish a proven track record.  

If you have a track record and a decent amount of equity in the property most services will let you exclude TI from your payment.
