I am curious at what stage of land development the sale was struck with builder.  

At the current cost to build estimate $150/sqft, It appears a 1500-1700 sqft new construction will need to sale for around 399,9k to make a decent profit.

You have a far better chance trying to sell to an individual than targeting hedge funds.

Other than that there isn’t much chance of doing a house hack where my wife and I currently are.

The market remains a seller's market, characterized by higher prices and faster home sales.

This defers capital gains and depreciation recapture taxes on the sale of your fourplex.After converting it into your primary residence, you may qualify for the primary residence capital gains exclusion ($250K single/$500K married), but only for appreciation after the conversion; gains from the rental period remain taxable.

River, I would love to dive deeper if you ever have the chance.

We’re working in a smaller market like Cornelia, GA, where comparable sales data can be limited, and want to make sure we present a strong case to lenders.

The FMR for a 4 Bed in this zip code is $2,260, so there's a good chance you can get a higher rent than that.

My biggest aim is to ensure that my long-term success aligns with whoever I invest with's long-term success instead of making their money on the upfront sale and leaving me on my own.
