Also, filing the BK eliminates any chance of you financing a loan to pay the 1st so, whoever gave you that advice, run from it.1079 making this "not a quick flip" is not relevant to anything whatsoever...so ignore that comment and anything else that person said in his post.There is not enough meat on the bone for a hard money lender in my opinion and if you are facing sale in two weeks, they are your only option if you don't have a 401K or IRA you can tap into or other access to funds.

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.

Happy to throw you a bone if you need some advice. 

Wife is a realtor, hubby is part owner of an industrial construction company.Ideally wed love to get a fix and flip for our first investment.1- what is something you wished you knew before your first flip?

We’ve had the bone for a long time and are moving, but don’t want to sell it in a down market.
