We have never built a house and our development research says you can built for all sorts of $$ / sqft and we don't have a good contractor that we can trust. 

Im itching to start cold calling and I just want to know where are investors getting their cold calling leads from or what other techniques are you using.

Any advice is gladly appreciated, I am new to the development and new construction aspect of real estate.Thanks

It they are in the right neighborhoods then developers are coming in and converting these structures.

Our hope while traveling the country for the next year or so is to connect with other investors  and develop a real estate business/portfolio that supports the simple, yet adventurous, lifestyle that we want to live while also helping others to do the same.  

I have development projects in these areas and always looking for moreCurrently in the Sharswood/Brewerytown area I have 3 triplexes full renovation, 3 duplexes new construction and in Germantown I have two large multifamily projects in the works

Then develop a financing plan, nobody is going to give you money for free.

If you drive the 4900 block of Cedar St you’ll see a beautiful 3 story victorian twin homes that have gone up in price over the past year and a half.West of 52nd in the Cobbs Creek area rehabbed homes have began to sell very quickly on the market as well as people have started flipping and putting homes on the market.There is a large amount of development projects planned in University City over the next ten years.

I am not thinking of building large homes, unless I could co-fund or partner in a project with the help of very experienced builder/seller/developers, but rather small 2/1 that could be built for around 75k.

When a party related to the transaction has more than one role in the transaction or is employed by or has an ownership interest in a company that is involved in the transaction (including but not limited to third parties such as marketing companies, builder / developer, broker, or realtor), there is a non-arm's length or at-interest risk.
