I advise you to start small, start safe.

The goal is to provide safe affordable housing at market price, and if residents don't pay, you have the ability to get a judgment within thirty days.

We are paying $300k for the land and as a builder my costs are lower but let’s use retail so it’s safe. 900k build so a grand total of $1.2milIf you put 20% down and refinance in a year from now at 5.9 (realistic to me) that would be $24k net after taxes, 7% put for capex and repairs(it’s new), and insurance.

This house HAS A CURRENT lead safe certificate issued by the Toledo Health Department.

Both GC's work on distressed properties so are hedging playing it safe as I just asked them for budgetary numbers to help determine if I should do this deal or not.I do have 10%+ in cash reserves already.

The damage was not your fault and you have taken the appropriate steps to make the home safe and functional again.
