Selling to either Regional Supplier OR a Wholesaler. 

Now that I'm a more experienced designer in real estate, I would love to customize my kitchen more with different materials, unique tile, and more unique pulls/knobs but having a large, clean kitchen was extremely appealing to me as a first-time buyer 4 years ago.

@Andrew LawnLoan originators have a unique advantage in understanding financing strategies like flipping, house hacking, and rentals.

I can only really speak for Tampa but if you buy a unique and/or amenity rich property in the right part of town and do all of the management pieces right you can and likely will be successful. 

The economic benefits could extend to local communities, spurring growth and development across the region.

For example, a bank would never give someone like me who hasn't built before, a loan to build like this, but we are doing it through our company which has a great track record and I will buy it upon completion.I mainly went with a new build because I thought it was a very unique opportunity given the connections I have working in a development and property management company.

My team does Turn-key, Renovations and new construction homes in the Poconos Region.  

there are national lenders everyone's heard of (Chase, BoA, etc.) and local lenders (regional, local, credit unions, etc.)call a bunch of both. 

All my properties are in a small regional area so I only have 1-2 people per task I need and I have all their numbers saved in my phone.

The unique opportunity is in the inner city.
