I’ve read a lot on here about capitalizing all expenses during construction to inventory and then moving those expenses to COGS once the property is sold—makes complete accounting sense.

I've already bought the property because I was afraid of rising rates (got a 3.4% thank goodness because they're literally in the 7s now), but it's still costing me 1800/month before construction starts.

I've heard of being a J violation.Here's a linkhttps://www2.myfloridalicense.com/construction-industry/faqs/#:~:text=A%20%E2%80%9Cj%E2%80%9D%20violation%20is%20abandoning,failed%20to%20perform%20without%20cause.your contract may have an impact on the outcome.

Chattanooga is bustling, Steady yearlong traffic, new housing developments going up everywhere you turn your head, countless jobs being opened in this region, new highway construction to widen our 3 lanes into 5 lanes, a new MiLB stadium in the works, and many many more things.

Also, a ton of new construction in the Summerville area right now.

Hey Matt, I own 2 duplexes here in Columbus, Ohio and I would say that buying duplexes in an appreciating area would probably be your best bet.

I have been working with investors for more than a year to help them find new construction investment properties.
