That same year that I got the degree, in 1980, I got a broker license.Regardless of what I had I felt more comfortable in the construction business.  

Closing a new construction loan soon in Atlanta and I'm looking for insight as a HM lender on a new construction deal.

I want to explore the option of building a fourplex financed by a construction loan in Phoenix.

Brick/cement construction so roof is the major issue.

The company seems legit albeit involved in some worker safety issues (they are in the construction industry).  

Hi all,Curious to know if anyone has recently been approved for a construction loan for an investment property.

Excellent points @Richard F.With out-of-state rentals, I have to rely very heavily on strong property managers -- especially for construction/handymen and that can be tricky and, sometimes, expensive.

It historically is a good store of value in any environment (if purchased at a price near its historical mean or if you can get it under cost of construction even better).  

Chip/Jo take the 2nd approach - the homeowner buys the house and pays for the construction.  

Prior to this I worked in the construction industry with experience in: roofing, siding, framing, tile, wood flooring, asphalt repair, cement work, & granite counter tops.
