For instance, one investor I worked with used it to jump from a duplex to a 4-unit building in Phoenix, effectively doubling their rental income as well as the forecasted appreciation rate on their new property.

Typically when you see "cash only" the agent doesn't believe the property can pass a home inspection which isn't relevant for construction loans in most instances and there are plenty of banks, hard money lenders etc. who offer construction financing on distressed buildings.

These companies will end up holding on to buildings for longer than they planned, keeping inventory low. 

.- Send emails and texts to all tenants in the building reminding them of "quiet enjoyment" and respectful behavior to their neighbors.- Avoid being the mediator, judge, and jury

my experience in SC which is basically limited to building about 35 new builds in Charleston market and funding a few flippers up by Augusta and a few flips in N.

We worry about the hassle of dealing with properties in poor condition and not building enough equity.

@Mitchel Johnson Welcome to BP and I wish you the best in investing..Usually people start by going to local meetups and building a network of trusted people to get their feet wetHere is an examplehttps://www.meetup.com/find/?

New build maybe a bit aggressive getting into real estate unless you have a builder as a partner in a deal to see the full steps or stages that go into new builds.Why new build?

On a pre-1900 build I often see them filled with mortar, at least here in Milwaukee.

Areas close to BlueOval City will likely see an increase in housing development, including single-family homes, apartments, and short-term rental properties for contractors and temporary workers.
