Several factors at play: the sales market has been slow so many would-be sellers are converting houses they can’t sell to rentals, lots of new construction units have been completed recently, and in-migration has slowed down a bit.

I recommend having a pricing software (pricelabs perhaps). 

There is new construction in the area.Thanks,Todd

My husband did 90% of the work himself, only using contractors for large electrical, plumbing, and construction projects.

I started with the Simple Start plan, but as I learn more about the software, I realize that to effectively classify income and expenses per unit, I need to use Classes and Locations, which are only available on the higher-tier plans.I’ve seen suggestions to use units as customers as a workaround, but I’m curious if anyone else has tried this approach or has recommendations for managing multiple units in QuickBooks with the Simple Start plan.Looking forward to your feedback!

I pitched her even getting a real estate agent license to contribute to the venture as she used to sell new construction when she first started out in sales.Ultimately, you are asking them to put a huge amount of trust in you and go along with making a large financial commitment with you.

Just be sure to check local zoning rules, manage construction costs, and explore financing options like HELOCs or DSCR loans.

Tell the lender you want a construction loan online of credit.  

@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.
