We are trying to broaden our scope into the new construction space but I am having a bit of trouble finding resources covering the investment strategy, what additional expenses might be incurred compared to renovating an existing home, what permits are required, the process behind working with a GC or home builder to get a project completed, etc...Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated!
