For transparency:Our vision is to build a portfolio of STR and MTR. 

Your lease or statute may address this, but this is clearly endangering the lives of fellow tenants in the building, which is non-curable.

In Charlotte there were many construction cranes, indicating active building going on there. 

Once the project is complete, you determine market rate and buy out their share.Let's say it cost $60,000 to build the house and it is appraised for $120,000 after you are done (not including the land, which you already own).

Fast forward to today and I'm preparing to use Jeff (Blueprint) to fund a new build.

I haven't used any of their products, but Blueprint has worked with me and my business partner to strategize on a project I'm working towards now with a new build in Galena, IL.

So we are looking at potential to build a second house as part of the whole package down the road.

Typically you'll have an occupancy clause in your loan documents stating you must occupy the property as your primary residence within 60 days of signing your closing documents, and must continue to live there for at least one year.

I'd like to start building a portfolio in more of a nascent market that has more room to grow in coming years.Perhaps Santa Fe still has some room to grow, as you suggest?

In the building I'm working at, they're installing a brand called evolve.
