Scheduling is the hardest part of construction , good subcontractors are not sitting home waiting for the phone to ring , they are scheduled out weeks if not months ahead of time .

I work with a turnkey provider in Little Rock, and they are offering a 5.99% on all of their properties, even the new construction.

The bank set me in at 7.1% interest (construction loan short term) This will be a side hustle for me.

With your background in the Air Force, MBA, and construction, you're in a great position to launch a real estate venture.

Like Jay said, often, new construction does not go as planned.

I’m looking to invest in nearby areas, focusing on fix-and-flip projects and new ground-up construction.

BUT, I am sick living in construction and would like to move to a new home and then finish fliping and sell or hold the two homes asap.

I have 2 options:- finance the construction pre-selling the apt, and take my profits (expected to be around 700K pre-tax); or- finance the construction with a 6-7%/year loan (collateral = my house), keep the 10 units, and once the building is completed in 24 months, rent them for circa 180K/ year gross.

As mentioned before too, newer construction tends to sell at a premium too. 

I always check around with other property owners, investors and ask them who they're using for their construction work and if they were pleased with the work.
