Is there a way to get a construction loan with the original property still on the land so I can do a new build on part of the property and then slowly rehab the historic property?

To add to it, not sure about your state, however in Mass, families are a protected class hence we cannot discriminate tenants or applicants based on their family orientation.

I'm based in NY.

I've been considering acquiring a fix-and-flip property situated on a large acreage, with enough land to potentially split into lots.

That's why I want to leave the marketing, underwriting, servicing and potential default negotiations to the professionals.My role is to evaluate loans based on my needs and risk-tolerance.

Assuming I own the land free and clear (value, say 800k) however, do you think that I could get the construction loan myself (I have about a 750 credit score) and just hire a builder to put it up, using the land as collateral for the loan?

These are income based loans and rates will depend on your credit score and loan to value (LTV).I've seen programs where values determined by AVM (automated valuation model), not a full appraisal. 

@Travis Peterson  You’ve got different options based on your personal financial picture.

Don't run numbers based on STR or MTR, run the numbers based on the worse case scenario which would be LTR.

Both a cash out refi and a HELOAN have options to qualify you based on FICO and the income from the property - your income, employment and DTI are not factors in this case.
