I'm presently a facilities engineer by trade, who does some construction and maintenance for landlords on the side, hoping to get back into the private real estate game.

Many construction companies already have someone who does what I do and other contractors apply for their own permitting for their projects.

He may know some GCs so I'll reach out- but meantime if you need an inspector you can trust for before, during or after construction, he's a Godsend. 

Quote from @Dan Grove: Some combination of cash to seller, closing costs, repairs, construction, paying off arrears, assignment fees, commissions.   

To answer your last question, my realtor has contractor contacts I should be able to leverage for rehab budget estimates, as well as family friends with experience in the construction trades.

Through your local bank that you are using, are you reapplying for each new home for a seperate construction loan or are you setup as a credit line with them and just submit a new budget for each new home I do want to also add that my banker who is the VP of lending and branch manager has been banking me for 30 years..WE have been through all he ups and downs including the GFC were I got almost totally wiped out financially..

I actually work with a great team in LR that offers turnkey and new construction.

Hello BP Community, I am under contract to purchase a new construction home as an investment property and I am the RE Agent.

You don’t want your lender to go out of business while still holding your construction escrow funds.Can you provide me with the contact info of some recent borrowers?

I have a bachelors in Construction Managements and run substation electrical jobs for a living while my wife is a stay at home mom with the kids.
