100% Financing on acquit ion + construction.

Many other projects have reduced or suspended planned CF distributions and I've also had a few capital calls in which I did participate since the business case still made sense (the MF in Florida had a capital call to finish construction and get through stabilization and it still returned the 32% IRR).I expect almost all of the deals to be OK, just later exits than originally projected.I am very concerned about one project and have already written it off in my head.  

So, if interest rates are a buyer’s primary roadblock, then I recommend negotiating a rate buydown at a seller’s expense or looking at new construction, where builders are offering rate reductions and other substantial incentives.What if I’m a seller?

The issue why most wives don't like this strategy is because they have to move into an ugly home that will be a construction zone for the near future and they have a hard time looking past that.

Extremely helpful and constructive post. 

These can sometimes have more flexible terms than standard construction loans, especially if you can demonstrate strong income through your bank statements.

Here's the thing about ALE and similar agencies: they can be a goldmine, but you need to adjust your approach to meet their demand sweet spot.

It’s easy to manipulate projected returns by making a few small adjustments in the underwriting and proforma.There is nothing guaranteed with any investment.A few additional comments:1. 

For perspective, last April I closed on a new construction loan (build to rent) with a turnkey company there (Rent to Retirement).

One of the disadvantages is if I add an ADU to my single family rental, it's considered a 2 unit and under rent control so I decided not to do that considering all the construction costs.
