At the time the market crashed, Reddings economy was rooted heavily in construction, meaning there was a huge swath of the population that suddenly were unemployed, and houses foreclosed on, etc. putting homeowners into the rental market.

Outside of these cases, a lot of investors use hard money to give them the ability to do more properties at a time if they have the construction resources to handle.

Moderator please close this thread as I my question may be too broad and vague to yield a constructive answer.

Does anyone use of sales tax permit to buy their construction materials on there own rehabs and flips?  

Instead I got into construction material sales and eventually into the recreational vehicle business.

Dear Bigger Pocket members,I have a group of out of the country investors which are very interested to invest in new construction development in Los Angeles, mostly multiunit projects.I would love to get some experts opinion on the subject.Acquisition costs, prices to build per sf, average lot (ready to build) and any other useful info.I am aware that I may not asking all the right questions, but I have to start somewhere.Thank you !  

I work as a manager for an industrial construction contractor based here in San Antonio.

I know a lot of people in the construction Buisness so would that be a better way to go or bad idea ? 

All similar construction with comparable concrete walls and shingle roofs.

I am a newer investor with only one rental property and I have very little experience with running a reno other than new home construction.
