Hi Eric,Maybe bootstrap the construction costs and build one house and live in it while building it, then sell it and build another.Live rough for while, a microwave, a grill, a hotplate, a hose, a min-fridge, a mini-hot water heater and a portable heater.Good Luck!

Depending how that units floorplan is, a ductless mini-split heater/AC would be a good maybe be an option. 

IGTV is pretty hot and unlike other media - IG appeals to travelers and vacationers, having great mini vids with direct links to your booking page along with good hashtag discovery might be well worth it for you. 

@Jeff Lamothe Hello, I am not sure on the cost of adding the wall furnace or what actually goes into doing it, but I wanted to mention the ductless mini-splits.

I would consider upgrading the electric service and probably adding 2 services so that each unit has a separate 100 amp (for a small unit) or 200 amp (for a large unit) service.If these are nice units, I would consider ductless mini splits for heating and a/c.

I wouldn't be so worried about something like a mini excavator or a car.

In this Office Park you'll find, nicely landscaped and lit walked ways, at least 2 offices with mini lobby in each unit, small kitchens and personal bathrooms per unit.What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

Originally posted by @Parker Eberhard:@Jay Hinrichs the upfront cost is more, but they save money in the long run due to efficieny ON a new build I have in PDX  we just got a 10 out of 10 on an energy audit.. between the tankless water heater and mini splits.

Did you have a 4 or 5-level townhome that you could convert a couple of the floors into mini-apartments?

I did not look closely at the numbers to see if the ratios make sense.Are there any local investors, from REIA type meetings, where they will agree a mini-JV.
