The sq ft mentioned by the builder was 2050 but the appraisal came back with 2233 sq ft.

Ask lots of questions of the trades and builders/investors.  

Good evening, I’m a 3rd generation builder and developer in the central Al area.

Hey all! This is Christian, I'm a new member of the community. I'm looking for real estate developers to partner up with.I'm with Mini·O (mini-o.com), we sell backyard studios: from mini offices (96 sq ft) to tiny hom...

So, if interest rates are a buyer’s primary roadblock, then I recommend negotiating a rate buydown at a seller’s expense or looking at new construction, where builders are offering rate reductions and other substantial incentives.What if I’m a seller?

The new homes will be mostly built in the burbs, and I expect as we move forward outside of many city limits or in smaller cities where the builders can control the narrative with less regulations, less inspections, less red tape, lower requirements.Due to the number of people moving though, we'll see some urban infill as well I expect. 

Is the process as simple as finding a local builder (one that was recommended has 15-20 yrs exp.)? 

I'm Italian, and originally from North Jersey/NYC area so we just send out some guys that specialize in knee cap alterations 🤣.Ok, more seriously, I personally believe in responding to reviews both positive and negative because it builds a critical body of work such that when you do respond to negative reviews it doesn't look out of place.

I've found a reputable builder who quoted $110K to rehab the burnt house, including expanding it to 1,200 sqft.

Doing my first wholesale deal in 2016, at that time there were builders buying blocks of houses from residents and doing new construction.
