Rather than try to make a round peg fit into a square hole (i.e., blend a bold design with a transitional home), we decided to highlight its natural style and create this simple yet showstopper design!

I made the same recommendation, if they were to dip into EC from OOS, that would be the only place that would potentially fit their buy box.

Hi Treza,Not sure where you are in the process there, but when your ready to exercise financing options please reach out, it's very difficult to find a ground up program for inexperienced borrowers without having an experienced GC sign on the loan with you which in turn is not easy to find. 

The neighborhood specialist sounds to be the better fit.

Its enough to find out whether what they own fits what you want o you know whether you want to pursue them or not.

There are different programs for 1-4 units, 5-8 units, and so on.

After rehabbing, we expect these homes to rent out for about $1,300 per month.Neighborhoods in west Birmingham—like Forestville, Adamsville, and Pleasant Grove—could also fit your criteria.

I agree that working with people is easier and more cost effective than the alternative.As I read this, I'm considering creating a Cash For Keys written program that I can give my tenants at lease signing to remind them to come to me rather than just stop paying. 

That could totally be based on execution failure, but for us, it just wasn't a good fit. 

It is extremely hard to find programs for 0 experience simply on the 1-4 unit side of ground up construction.
