@Steve Powers is correct that these were mostly originated as owner occupied loans.

I’ve got some buildings with great interest rates that just won’t cash flow with less than my original 20% equity.

Also, securing financing is no different than site built unless you're dealing with  someone that has no experience originating loans. 

However, as I mentioned in my original post, my immediate goal is to move out of our current townhouse into a larger single-family home that better suits my family’s needs (we have a baby and a big dog).

A "total reno" can mean it's all original and very outdated but livable or it can be an absolute disaster with foundation issues and sewer and water problems.

My markup is always lower than the original lender's because I don't spend money advertising during the Super Bowl, my president doesn't have a corporate jet, and we don't have layers of management we need to pay.

Through your local bank that you are using, are you reapplying for each new home for a seperate construction loan or are you setup as a credit line with them and just submit a new budget for each new home 7 mil credit line  ... new budget for each plan that has been pre appraised in the MAI at the beginning of the project.. they did have to update the Mai last summer but again did it at their cost not mine.. banks have to paper their files.. even though we are selling the same floor plans for 100k more per plan than the original numbers came it at and bank has been paid and has all the closing statements showing this data..

“live your dash” if you do not know what that is google it. pretty powerful and it seems like the original poster is doing this.
