Second question is, if we don't live in the city we will invest in, we understand we will have to be traveling often, but who could be a good person to check in on the construction so we don't have to go every week?

Use FRCP 26 to construct your argument and give citations where appropriate.

But when the interest rates started going up about the same time the fed start raising its rate, new construction came to a screeching halt.

There are some major developments continuing construction, however; the price points are upwards at $290,000 or higher and rent rates being advertised at $2,000 a month.

100% Financing on acquit ion + construction.

Where I see my clients do really well for their clients is the HVAC is brand new electrical panel new  Roof brand new etc etc.. kind of like those that buy new construction for rentals those folks are paying full retail for those..

Now, either I'm not posting in the right places of i.e Cragslist / BP etc or my ads aren't as well constructed as I think they would be to attract motivated sellers.

Many other projects have reduced or suspended planned CF distributions and I've also had a few capital calls in which I did participate since the business case still made sense (the MF in Florida had a capital call to finish construction and get through stabilization and it still returned the 32% IRR).I expect almost all of the deals to be OK, just later exits than originally projected.I am very concerned about one project and have already written it off in my head.  

Could be less on newer construction but you’ll pay more for the property.
