I have been doing some online research on Lending Deck.  

Really looking to connect with locals about their experiences, get their advice, and hopefully find a mentor that can help me out.

The next steps will involve accurate construction cost estimates by a licensed contractor (or two) and connecting with a lender (possibly current local bank) for construction financing.

I have heard good things about KBKG and they have an online tool for cost basis of 600k and under https://www.kbkg.com/residential-costsegregator I personally used CSSI and they were awesome https://costsegregationservices.com/ but don't offer DIY.Hope that helps!
