Guys are putting up beam support posts. 

@Zach Howardlet me know if i am missing something, but if the 200K loan is fully amortized over 5 years, then you'll have very large payments each month, and the property's income won't support it. 

Looking for guidance on options. new builds aren't hard to finance and I would argue they are preferred to existing fix and flip loans, especially if you have experience. banks look at your experience, your builder's experience, loan structure, permits, etc you need to get an experienced builder familiar with advanced underwriting and negotiations with local, regional, and national lenders. in columbus we do ground up construction for clients at a 20% discount so they can BRRRR out of the new build with equity and we have pages and pages of data on what we build and why and it's all supported by market statistics. 

I would call their support staff and see if they can walk you through it. 

A link to FilePlace is at the bottom of every page, making it easy to find.If you have technical issues, email support@biggerpockets.com, and someone will help you.

But alternatively, you can hire a manager if the home is big enough to support their salary.

If we all pitch in and provide support, even if it’s just to say a kind word to them, we have a better chance of winning!

Can your existing box support the addition?

I recommend reaching out to BP support for assistance.Additionally, it might be a good idea to connect with investor-friendly agents during your search.

I’m also considering advising my tenant to look into Section 8 assistance, as it could help support their financial situation while allowing me to adjust the rent closer to market levels.
