I have some experience in multi-family fix and hold but am new to new construction (ground up). 

. - Look for properties with a large backyard and/or detached garage that would work well with an ADU and learn the ins and outs of the new CO laws that essentially have rezone most of the state to require approval for new ADU construction.- Underwrite the property to breakeven or small positive cash flow as a standalone long-term rental to a single tenant.

Hi BP family,I'm looking at a new construction home, single family, in San Marcos that is being offered as a "home of the week" deal by the builder.

For example, in Indianapolis, there are new construction duplexes priced at around $400-450k with strong rental returns.

Bruce, the rental registration fee in Garland pays for inspectors that ONLY look at rental properties.

A new construction loan Might be more difficult to qualify for than an existing structure loan.

My duplex had an additional unit built in the basement and discovered by city inspectors when a neighboring squabble caused buildings department to check houses on the block and my house had 3 mailboxes out front.

He added a construction hold back and other items.

The seller wants to do a private sale(yes I have an inspector and contractor on hand).

to get to the point, i would find an area likely to experience more demand and ensure the financials work out for both MTR & LTR's. i would ideally start out with a fourplex and depending how that goes, possibly scale from there. i do believe that it is more traditional to syndicate on larger properties so i am wondering if you know if it is possible to syndicate, starting off, for one fourplex or even one MTR condo. my gut feeling is to start with one beach-front condo in florida that requires $37,250 down . a new construction fourplex, however, i could finance with a USDA loan myself and not have to consider investors so that may make things easier, possibly.no airbnb's. maybe VRBO. two week minimum stay. only in areas very likely to have housing demand due to new factories being built.i own/run an STR right now and it is going well with only the occasional hiccup.
