Can you carry the property for the construction period?

Use FRCP 26 to construct your argument and give citations where appropriate.

You should look into new construction, A builder like Lennar in Bulverde area.

I had a STR in another market get shut down by zoning, so I put construction workers in there on a 30+day stay over the summer and now have a MTR tenant to keep the lights on through May after which I'll sell since I have no guarantee on having another 30+day contract next summer.

Would it be more expensive to buy an older property like this vs buying a new construction in TX? 

Hello I'm Whitney Steadman a plumbing contractor who looking to do some investing and  fix&flips Have a strong construction side eager to learn more of the investing side and property acquisition

I believe making statements about me based on assumptions does not contribute to a constructive dialogue.

I actually work with a great team in LR that offers turnkey and new construction.

So I think the operative wird is balance.Note - Most of my career in Construction was spent working for exremely wealthy people that you speak of. ($12 mm dollar houses and all that....)

IE its common in so many areas that the 500k home in Wis sits on a 75k or 100k lot and 300 to 400k is the cost to construct say at 150 to 200 a foot..
