Owner-Builder Construction Loan (Challenging but Possible)Some lenders offer owner-builder loans, but they usually require:✅ Strong financials (good credit, assets, low debt-to-income)✅ A solid construction plan, budget, and timeline✅ Proof of prior experience (renovations help, but formal experience is a plus)✅ A licensed contractor or project manager to sign off on the build2.

Also, don't complain about your offer not being accepted - just submit a better one or walk away - the seller doesn't care about anything other than how long its been on the market and how close to ask you are.

But what do people think of this offering? 

Here in FL a pool trumps all and having a spa feature built in offers additional ROI. 

My CIPS® designation and global network allow me to offer clients insights into international real estate trends as well.

With myself as an operator I would offer the following: underwriting the deals, a detailed scope of work, a detailed material list, the labor, and the management.  

I've seen lot rents from $150 per month for low end trailer park trash, $350 to $450 for higher end parks depending on the amenities offered.

Quote from @Benjamin Sanders: Hi all,My wife and I made a last-minute offer on a rental property in New Albany that is in a flood plain.

I know there is surety bond process and there a a few companies that appear to offer a service (Like Rhino)Furnished Finder has a new feature called Worry Free Waivers but when I tried  to better understand their process, it was clear they have not done a good job of vetting this out. 

This is limiting my options.I have never utilized the multifamily lending products offered by Fannie, Freddie, etc., so I would be interested to a) hear other BP members' lender recommendations for this sized property and also b) other members' experiences working with Fannie, Freddie, etc.
