To better project growth rates for the next five years, we should examine the pre-COVID period from 2015-01-01 to 2020-03-01.

You might want to consider a bridge loan for this project.

Having a rock solid SOW can prevent many of the issues that arise during any project.

Once the work was complete, I refinanced to pay off the hard money loan and held the property as a long-term asset.This duplex also marked the start of my short-term rental journey—we ran our first Airbnb from one of the apartments before scaling to bigger projects.

@Thomas Farrell if you have any experience managing property/construction projects, I would look in to flipping properties and keeping the once that you see an acceptable cashflow on when finished.

We develop, build, and manage Class B multifamily projects (12-200 units), handing investors like you a turnkey deal: 8-12% cash-on-cash returns, low entry costs (way below Midwest urban averages), and no management hassles since we run the show.

At the end of the day; you need more money to do something like this.MAX LTV on new builds is 80% LTC, Meaning if the build is $550,000 and Land is XAdd ($550,000 + x ) * .8 = LOAN AMOUNTYou would need to come in with MINIMUM 20% of the cost in addition to closing costs and reserves, $80,000 is not going to cut it for this project.

My goal is to build the capital needed to start investing in Real Estate, and I felt this was the best way to get there.I spent 6 years as a project superintendent with a commercial builder, followed by 2 years as a construction manager in the track home industry.

If there’s specific projects like electrical we get a project specific estimate after we put it under contract prior to the earnest money going hard.
