Build your portfolio as your knowledge and wealth increase. 

I have over 100 lots to build . utilities in place 800 people on waiting list for section we need houses.i am also a sec 8 landlord 

Find someone in the neighborhood of your building to help you out.

The buildings were still usable.  

Instead of platforms like Angi, try building relationships directly with contractors, architects, and developers.

On a pre-1900 build I often see them filled with mortar, at least here in Milwaukee.

@Monty Alston It has some impact but no lenders will give you credit for having experience building a home unless you have built or renovated a home in the last 3-5 years.

Points I can roll into the cost and don't mind a buy down if necessary.My primary concern is the bleed rate monthly for the build, Airbnb stabilization and the year after while we season it and prep for final financing for long term hold.

I am still pretty new to the area but I am ready to jump in and start investing in multi-families in the Albany and surrounding areas.  Since this is something that is best done with a team of experts that know a lot ...

Im not sure how far RWN should go to make things right as of course not doing your own inspection and appraisal is pretty stupid.
