I'd suggest making sure to get a good GC/construction company for repairs.

"Builder’s risk insurance is necessary from day 1 of the construction project.

If you are looking in the area where you live, stop by areas under construction and you can ask. 

I had a STR in another market get shut down by zoning, so I put construction workers in there on a 30+day stay over the summer and now have a MTR tenant to keep the lights on through May after which I'll sell since I have no guarantee on having another 30+day contract next summer.

I want to do a seller financed deal that allows me to put less down, but I still have to come out of pocket the rest of the down payment and construction costs so I have a few questions1.

We came to an arrangement where any sale price over $1 million, minus construction costs, would result in a profit-sharing opportunity.I’m currently trying to determine the After Repair Value (ARV) for the property but am having difficulty finding reliable comparables.

On the REI Trust where grandpa set up long go… so I’m following that they turn over their old assets and buy new construction and basically double they’re holding every seven years.:) Does the trustees sign to get new Loans for the new construction properties?

It would be nice if you had a contact who was an actual mason not a marketer.  1930's construction is rare so maybe they cut some corners it was a global depression.  

From my experience, when I dive into the costs associated with building an ADU—including construction expenses and financing options like hard money loans—it often doesn’t make financial sense.

Several participants made the point in response that the county for a very long time has stood in the way of affordable housing being constructed, first and foremost by zoning, and that an STR ban isn't going to solve the problem.
