Sometimes occupants still live there and eviction is not easy, and I have even heard a story once that the yakuza are involved in the construction and real estate business and exorted money from buyers through occupants in these properties. 

Cleaning up our work area, I remembered what my old co-worker once told me on the construction site "There are 3 ways a job gets done: One way in our head, another way planned out, and how the job actually goes." 

@Steven DiazFor anything construction related, I am not very knowledgeable, but there is a real estate group called The Mills Group in town that works a lot with investors and they themselves do a lot of flips so maybe they would be a good starting point.For STR I would do the two units separately.

One place that will soon become a rental market heaven is an area around Johnstown/ New Albany where a huge Intel plant is under construction with plans for thousands of employees, not to mention the contractors there now.

For any investors in the group, take a peak at #10 Greensboro/High PointIt's an interesting choice of verbiage to look at "median" sale price YoY because 10% feels like A LOT on the entry-level/investment inventory, and more of what I see in the high-end resale and, specifically, new construction inventory that tends to swing our avg's way up in the macro.Completely disagree that rent will be 0%.

I tried to provide constructive feedback on why it was not worth continuing with RentRedi and all the sudden I couldn't type anymore (it was about 3-4 sentences I got cut off). 

I am considering working with a property developer in NJ to buy land, build a duplex/triplex and sell it (6-9 month time horizon).  Is there any creative way to avoid/reduce capital gains tax on the sale ? From what I...

this is a direct relation to lack of inventory.. new construction on many markets is as robust as its ever been.. we have had spectacular years the last 3 years of course during covid was tough with supply chains but my 500k house I am now selling for 700k and my build cost have gone up by maybe 100k.. so record profits for us.. 

Was able to get a meeting with the seller and negotiated using evolving knowledge of construction and deal analysis in addition to discovering seller motivation through direct contact.
