One AZ is great - used them many times. 

Not one of those jobs takes an hour.

I had a flipper come to me asking about doing a new development.He would need $240,000 to purchase the land from a wholesaler and then he would have his GC partner get the construction loan but they cant get the loan if their is someone else that has a lien on the property so i would have to collateralize against one of their assets which they don't have.

In my case, I have residential rentals in one LLC, commercial properties in another, self-storage in a third, and my real estate company operates in a fourth.

If I sell one house per year, it will pay for itself.

Is there no one else of your religion in the area looking for housing?

Each one with separate addresses and utilities.We originally put $585k of our own money into the project, and by the time we were ready to go to market in 2023 we were into it for about $2M (the pandemic really threw a wrench in our timeline and costs but also greatly increased the value).

Mind you, we have never communicated prior as another one of the investors was dealing with him.If instructions would have been given as a whole, what we were expected to produce verses what they did rather than piece meal it at critical times, there would be no problem and no one would be upset.

To make a long story short, for one property you are not going to save $ in the long run and realize materials can take 6-16 weeks to arrive. 

For the contractors, there are always going to be ones that have you already saying yes to stuff and will just continue to send crazy change orders, and when they do that is when you stop the project and go elsewhere.
