I'm a licensed builder and have done just about everything imaginable in the construction trades. 

got out of flipping to new construction in our market in columbus ohio. licensed general contractor. when interest rates got high single family existing went down by 30% new builds sold at a 6% increase that year which demonstrated the desire and premium that new construction commands. never looking back. total control, rinse and repeat. we can get permits in 28 days. we can buy land cash in 21 days. we can build in 120 days to 140 days and keep moving. super scalable and easy and no risk. we build the same 2-3 Floorplans 

Quote from @Lillian Pintaro: I heard the rental rate wasn't doing that well in the Huntsville market, do to the new construction.

And, financed the build with a construction loan.How did you add value to the deal?

Of that 50M, 25M was allocated for the construction of a new recreational faculty that has since been completed.

Just to clarify, when I say timeline dates I don't mean just "project to be completed by (Date)"That's required by FHA/Lender, but in my 20 years of construction experience not nearly what you need haha. 

Quote from @Duarte Marques: Hey BP community, I'm new to real estate investing and have been studying (reading books, watching webinars, constructing excel cash flow models,...) close to a year.

A few years ago, I hired Dalinghaus Construction to lift the foundation on a two story building that was built in 1925. 

Hi Aaron, I know I wasn't the original poster, but we did end up doing new construction down there in the past year (also purchased cabins before deciding to build). 

They could make more money working part-time at McDonald's.I think construction is one of the best opportunities if you can find the time.
