Thank you  The good GCs charge 20% but this does not equate to your savings because the GC will have better contacts, have namer experience coordinating contractors, be more familiar with permit process and expectations of the inspectors.  

They provided registered address and limited mail forwarding for free and the process was fast and efficient.

Find out if you can not renew their lease and what the process is. 

The process is pretty straight forward and not complicated at all.

Don't be afraid of the process!

This started my thought process that maybe I should sell. 

But, as my wife and I have done this over the past 5 years, we have found it moves less and less each time, and that we are essentially living the life we envisioned 5 years ago when we started this process. 

If you dont need the leases it can be nice because as soon as you get near completion on your rehabbing you can get your disclosures out, esigned, start your appraisal asap, and get the process moving quickly versus waiting around for tenants, lease ups, and all units to be rented.Best of Luck ~

I'd love to chat with you more about the process.

The process from start to finish would take four months and cost ~200k to build, with comps in the area around 355k-lender man said, refinancing would take six months as most lenders wont refinance a property unless its been built for six months, affecting the strategy to get paid out from refinancing quicker and closing out on construction loan-The property would not appraise at comps value, but at the cost it took to build, affecting getting paid out from the refinance.
