He said that typically in flip deals its around 30-40% down but if construction was included it would be about 30%. 

You have to get someone who is familiar with them and would want one.Here is a pic of this style of construction.

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

There are also other new construction homes on our street facing the same issue.So, I’m kind of stuck with this property, which is why I’m exploring ways to cut my losses and exit cleanly.

So, if interest rates are a buyer’s primary roadblock, then I recommend negotiating a rate buydown at a seller’s expense or looking at new construction, where builders are offering rate reductions and other substantial incentives.What if I’m a seller?

note if we sell the primary residence, it is very likely we will not need mortgages to buy smaller rentals as we would use that mostly.Though I take your point on keeping it. our house was a new construction (3 years old) though so possibly low maintenance risk to keep for a rental. 

As time went on, prices came down because buyers saw the challenges with rebuilding--trade labor, insurability, not knowing what will be built on adjacent lots (like one lot where the owner built a house that looked like a concrete mushroom and that devalued the adjacent new construction homes built to more conforming architecture), and so on.The weakness with moratoriums such as these is that it is now illegal to offer less than FMV as of 1/6/25--but what was FMV on 1/6/25? 

In construction, there is only so much you can do to reduce your margins while staying profitable.

I'm doing flips and new construction at the moment.
