In my market of Oklahoma City, you can buy new construction under $250k in good school districts.

I'm a real estate investor specializing in STR properties, a realtor, and I own a construction company.

There are lenders out there that will allow you to do a loan on something bought mid construction and is uninhabitable. 

To fully illustrate this, there was a poster who was looking for 100% financing for construction in Philly but also wanted the lender to advance costs for the initial phases of construction.

If you decide to sell one of your houses, it could be an excellent opportunity for an investor looking to capitalize on the strong demand for student housing in the College Station/Bryan area.As a real estate investor, realtor, and owner of a construction company in College Station, I'm happy to help in any way I can.

I have 2 options:- finance the construction pre-selling the apt, and take my profits (expected to be around 700K pre-tax); or- finance the construction with a 6-7%/year loan (collateral = my house), keep the 10 units, and once the building is completed in 24 months, rent them for circa 180K/ year gross.

Further enhancements included constructing a back deck and repainting the interior to modernize and enhance the home’s appeal.

My cash to close was 62k because of construction holdback from lender.

Build sleeping pods that are mostly soundproof (double walled construction) and ventilated. 

Numerous times I have been able to think through an issues that arose on a construction site and saved the Owner by proposing an alternate route to resolve it.
