Speaking as an immigrant myself, immigrants do not want any eviction record on their credit as they are trying to establish a life here, but I am not sure how to facilitate an eviction process for an international tenant with limited information on hand. 

We are in the process of starting a new construction with a big name local builder in the area.

Post your questions here and this community will help you process potential steps. 

Another thought process is, you be your own general contractor (don't pay a contractor to handle the rehab).  

always 20% or greater. we do it with our profit in columbus OH. it's all about the land, density, and floorplan size. get someone who has more experience in design and agency and development. development has been doing this for years and years so just stick to what works. compact, three story walk up style is what we build for investors and ourselves. 

Just to understand the process better?  

Zoning for RM-1Any building with an RM designation can be used as a residence: for one family or as a multi-unit building.

I'm currently in the process of building 2 new SFH in the Houston suburbs.

I acquired some good contractors and partnerships throughout the process.

Steps to take, length of the process, and how to manage the risk is what I am looking to learn.
