Cost of construction is expensive and about to get worse.

We are looking for low maintenance (so primarily new construction or >2000 and well maintained/rennovated) single family homes.

Just be sure to check local zoning rules, manage construction costs, and explore financing options like HELOCs or DSCR loans.

I pitched her even getting a real estate agent license to contribute to the venture as she used to sell new construction when she first started out in sales.Ultimately, you are asking them to put a huge amount of trust in you and go along with making a large financial commitment with you.

Several factors at play: the sales market has been slow so many would-be sellers are converting houses they can’t sell to rentals, lots of new construction units have been completed recently, and in-migration has slowed down a bit.

How much construction experience do you have?

There is new construction in the area.Thanks,Todd

My husband did 90% of the work himself, only using contractors for large electrical, plumbing, and construction projects.

I had little choice since I was financing out of a construction loan that had little time before a ballon.

Nobody likes living in a construction site.Keep on keeping on and find some hybrid strategy that ticks your boxes.
