I always found QB to be clunky, not user friendly and just kind of overkill.

It's best to reach out to multiple lenders to explore your options.

You have options!

My first impression is that your numbers in the current economic climate seem a little rosy.I also have friends that are builders and I try to stay in touch with them on costs as we mostly do "to the studs" renovations when we buy a place. 

I was debating if I should partner with a friend or family member who is willing to work on a property together. ill be sure to make sure things are done legally and fairly so no one get short sighted and things don't get messy.

Hi @Aaron Raffaelli, you've gotten good advice here as well as some good options.

.- Technology & Automation: Utilizing project management software, such as Buildertrend or Monday.com, enables real-time tracking of budgets, schedules, and contractor communications.

Private lending could be an option if your goal is "cash flow".

Obviously there are properties and investments that are exceptions but since we're discussing nearly unlimited budgets, my first look for a legacy estate would be begin in other areas.

If anything, have a small sign in front of the house that says who the builder is and phone number (that's common for contractors to do, and also so that neighbors feel they have some to call if there is dust blowing from the site or whatever), and then you may have people calling you asking about availability (people always want something more that they had to chase and can tell their friends the story of how they got the house).
