Due to my many goals it does become a bit overwhelming trying to figure out which project to pursue first. 

I want to build spec homes (flips) with a project value of at least $1.5MM and up.

Goes along with stress right now in trying to figure out how to structure my Very First Project.

I do all of that and more expect for some of the bids a those don’t take long to get and I pretty much know what they are anyways since I do a lot of these.The risk with this is if somehow seller can’t deliver clear Title, then you are out these expenditures but that is rare.Not sure about your area, but here in Los Angeles, I can have all the plans completed and submit to B&S (building and safety) before being on Title but to actually get the project to RTI, I do need to show I am on Title or get notarized approval from seller to submit to City.I typically make my offers with closing dates of 10 Days but I love it when sellers need 30 or 60 Days to close as that saves me holding costs while I do all the plans and City submittal/clearances.

@Erika Carter do you have any recommendations for contractors who do 203K projects.

Update:We ended up using a structural engineer to certify the entire project.

I'm in the middle of 2 projects if you want to come to the homes and check them out.

As for the rollover in 3 years, take into consideration your market projections, lease-up costs, and account for any added risk in the cap rate.
