I've been researching only FHA & various construction loans for up to 4 units.Can anyone recommend a resource with more information or can share info on their experience with commercial lending?

However, my analysis is showing these property values to be inflated and overpriced, especially from a buy and hold standpoint.Are you looking at teardown and new construction deals?  

I'm in the construction field so I was hoping to learn about rentals, and flipping

 Depending on your needs, an outfit like Bang It construction may be a contact to have.

New construction is pretty straight forward...if it's renovation on an older property budget in 10% to 20% for unknowns.  

I'd recommend a mix of finance-based courses with construction.

Sounds like they are around 20% of the after construction value for the land.

I enjoy the process and have a construction background from many moons ago.

I have a 13 year background in electricity and construction along with my real estate license.

The same ratio here in PDX that we attain naturally vis a vi ratio of owner occ to rental in the SFR sIn new construction today.. there are very few if any going to investors.. our price points have jumped up to the point it really does not make sense to buy these as rentals.. much better off buying a duplex or 4 plex.
