Hello All,I'm curious if there has been official data that compares appreciation of new construction to already built homes.

If it were zer0 dollars out of pocket without increasing the loan amount, it seems like a no brainer, but increasing the loan has me skeptical.

I am in my early 30s, zero debt, Excellent credit and currently live in Minnesota (hoping to move to another state in a year or so.).

Hey @Michelle Martin - I am the same thought as @John Warren, if you have a decent Chicago Eviction attorney they should have a pretty clear understanding of the process and be able to guide you through the next steps.  

I’m nearing the completion of my Tennessee Real Estate License, and I’m eager to connect with like-minded individuals in the real estate space, specifically in the Nashville and Franklin areas.I bring over 8 years of experience in renovations and custom home building, which has given me a deep understanding of the construction side of real estate.
