It's been a very, very bumpy road to be under contract - and past the due dilligence period - on a new build we are purchasing with the intent to use it as a STR (and some personal use).

.✅ Building strong relationships and partnerships.✅ Exploring creative ways to get deals done, even without a ton of upfront capital.I know that success in real estate is a team sport.

One of the side benefits is that I can avoid the whole draw/inspection process (not overall inspection, just the ones tied to the draws) and don't have to worry about draw fees.

I'm also building a house with Delta.

I pull all my copies , approved plans from the county , footer inspections , final inspections , AND I found a copy of the code from 2002 . 

Typically when you see "cash only" the agent doesn't believe the property can pass a home inspection which isn't relevant for construction loans in most instances and there are plenty of banks, hard money lenders etc. who offer construction financing on distressed buildings.

What are some questions that you can ask to each of the required team members(PM, Agent, etc. ) to ensure that goals align and they are best fit. 

What Chicago City inspection report did your realtor find? 

The buyers did a long inspection, multiple days... made a huge request for concessions based on what we knew to be purely made-up issues.

They will also charge you to have an inspection by a 3rd party or to use an app to make sure the work is done.
