We typically pay $2,500.

I had received approval from my parole officer for a residential move, but there was a misunderstanding regarding the reporting timeline for my arrival at the new address.

@Grayson Lynum Regarding Modular, I have gone down that rabbit hole several times, and what I found it, they are not cheaper, just faster, and they look like a modular, due to the transportation limitations, the rectangle box or Prow front on mods tend to have a stigma to buyers, also many of the finishes are very low end. if you site built a very basic rectangle with the same cheap finishes most mods come with, you will be financially better off. and they are not faster, typically from order to occupancy is 6-9 months, I did my last spec in 7 mo. its just not as much work on site, the time is waiting for the factory to get to your build. good luck!

May I ask what you typically use as a holding fee (amount or % of rent)?

He has a hard money lender that will be in first position and I will be the 2nd lien on the home, my total investment into the property is $25k.The terms are that I receive 8% on my 25k if he pays me back within 90 days, 10% within 120 days, and 12% within 150 days.

Even in the worst areas cash tenants are IMO worse than HUD tenants.Restrictions of Section 8 Tenants There are unlimited, everywhere.Don’t Receive Voucher Payment Until Tenant Moves In SO?

If you aren't experienced at it, it'll typically cost you even more to build your first project, because you don't know what you don't know.
