I wish you the best in building out your portfolio. 

I built a house and it’s going to be difficult to sell as I have no equity in it because of Cost to build.

If appreciation is part of your long-term wealth-building strategy, holding onto this asset could be wise.That said, if your main goal is to aggressively pay down your primary residence mortgage, selling could make sense.

If saving 20% and building direct is worth it to you I'd recommend it.

This, in turn, allows for higher rental rates or quicker sales, directly impacting the ROI.I could remember when an investor purchased an old, three-story commercial building at  a bustling downtown area.

What documents do they require, what credit scores do they allow, how do they verify previous rental history, etc.?

Are you aiming to build a significant portfolio over time, or do you plan to keep it more manageable with just a couple of rentals?

We built a single family home version of a 2 bed 1 bath with surface parking at cost with no profit all in with land for 175k in newark ohio, a suburb of columbus ohio. when we push that to 3 units and closer to the city for our build to rent model the numbers go way better. a 30k slab for a single family home is 30k, a 30k slab for a triplex is 10k a door. we designed a 2 bed 1 bath design at 668 sq ft and it's very good layout even I would live there, but I would never build anything that small again. there's no economies of scale. you need density and shared lines, resources, shared roof shared slab, shared windows, etc the cost goes way down.

They seemed good, and looks like they have prior experience managing the building I’m buying (based off the leases that were submitted to me) but way to expensive to what I’m use to … $137 - $184 per door (over 10%) and then $750 per door for the maintenance reserve. 

.- Review the loan documents, there is most likely a due on sale clause, which is why you won't find a title company to process these for you.
