Hello Pedro, I am not an expert on your particular market, but that cost to build sounds low for the kind of high end/custom build you are describing.

I had one contractor tell me his fee would be equal to 15% of that.Does this sound high for a single family home reno project?

I am aware of the Sewage issue and i am aware that in this high interest regime it won't be a cash flow property.

It Sounds like a decent deal assuming it’s on city sewer and water.

@Anthony Finger I will PM you with a manager for Akron/Canton that friends speak highly of. 

One idea that I have been pondering is buying a plot of land in a relatively good location with high odds of appreciation then placing a prefab house on top of it.

I was starting to worry because I don't have a high occupancy for summer months yet, but am noticing that the majority of guests are typically booking 3-4 weeks in advance.

I highly recommend starting by tuning in to the BiggerPockets podcast.

are you looking for short term loans that payoff every 6 to 12 months or longer termthat will determine which direction you may want to go in. probably not enough to do much in CA to start unless you want junior position which is highly risky for you.

One - Heloc rates are very high right now in most cases 9.50 to 12% and are usually over 10-15 years.
