Hey Jonathan,I found contractors through refferals and facebook groups, those contractors were great but they are not experienced in new construction; plus with me being out of state it would be ideal for me to hire a GC, instead of sub hiring ( i dont have time for that being far away),I am switching from rentals and fix and flips due to there's just more profit when doing new construction, and way more deals!

I do think that having a contractor give you quotes is MUCH better, but often not completely practical or ideal either.

Ideal if you're short on cash upfront, but be prepared for higher monthly payments.Conventional Loan: @Chris Seveney and I agree conventional is your better option.  

Problem: Too many goals - personally, I feel that the ideal number of annual goals is three.

It's... not an ideal situation and we're kind of working our way through the grieving process.

Ideally you live there for a while to really know when a deal is a good one or a stinker. 

I'm European, spent most of my life in Europe and have owned property in several European countries and I can tell you categorically that it doesn't not reflect the situation in most European markets and, by the way, Chris rightfully never suggested that it does.Of course, if Americans want to reap the benefits of investing in Europe, they'd ideally need to, as you suggest, get the right market knowledge, understand the local financing and housing laws and I'd add to this the legal system.

but if you have a view on active vs. passive income.my goal is to have income from multiple sources, ideally part time work that i enjoy is a component. 

Ideally, you want a 700+ score.
