With the construction boom after the '08 crash, that industry had been pretty good to me.

Are you getting a deal on construction?

I’m a third generation union construction worker and I’m looking to change course to an investor. 

My past consist of all phases of construction so I was able to do all the clearing, excavation, remodel(older mobile home) myself and made pretty good money. 

I actually just purchased a new construction townhouse in Dundalk last year (near Cove Road, not too far from Wise actually).

 $1,000 cash bonus if under contract by a particular date (paid through the broker)MLSPIN rules state that commission must be stated as a fixed dollar amount or a percentage of the sales price, but either is acceptable.I recently saw new construction where the builder was so confident of selling it himself that he listed it with a $1.00 commission!

The layout of the building, the construction, and of course the City.

The college is within walking distance of the house, so I know that is a plus, but also did some research and see that there were a couple new construction homes and townhomes that are for sale on the same street.

Still, if you are going to invest up north, I firmly believe you'll enjoy the most success if you avoid newer construction and try to get into deals that need at least some rehab, assuming you can build a good network of construction folks.

I bought 12 new constructions I Mississippi for Go Zone.. all 150 to 225k.. granted they were all great rentals as rentals go.. covering the mortgage and maybe a bit.. and I spent about 2million on them over 2 years but go zone game me 500k write off each year.. so a tax saving at my bracket at the time of 200k a year that I would have to send to uncle.. remember in those days us HML were printing profits.
