I found 2 banks that would back me in the project both offering a construction loan with no payments during the rehab.

I’ve got some multifam going on Long Island and I’m working on fix n flips in the Hudson valley, as well as new construction spec building. 

If you don’t have any experience with construction, home maintenance, or people management, you’re going to be at huge risk on remote projects.

What's the construction cost per square foot?

If you are developing ground up construction and have another w2...would that qualify yours a RE professional?

From my experience too many investors are going the ground up construction and they don't often calculate all of the costs.

For the last three years I have been a superintendent for a commercial construction company overseeing 40+ million worth of work.

New construction may be different here than in Ohio. 

My educational background includes a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) in finance, a commercial real estate certificate, and a minor in building construction and project management, with a focus on energy-efficient housing.

Which is the smarter option to take financially in long term, buying a new construction or resale house as a primary residence?
