:)If you are going with some kind of commercial construction or rehab loan or have private/HML in place none of that is relevant.For the multi which of those units will you be living in since you will need to reduce the rent roll by that amount.

I dont know any new construction guys, but I will ask the rehabbers I have started to network with if they know anyone who could partner with you.

Nor does a BPO have a place to manually adjust each of the comp grids to provide for positive and negative adjustments of features of the property, which becomes important in this setting, IMO.

I also have a 25+ year stellar reputation in construction in our area.Mostly I wanted to throw this out there to just let others know that it IS possible, BUT also VERY dependent on those long term relationships and having great finances even if not available for the project at hand.Dan DIetz

It has been a great adjustment to having others find houses for us.

Some neighborhoods you can stand on a street and look both ways and see 3 or 4 houses under construction (infill developments) and most are already pre-sold before they finish completion.Now, obviously the OP and you were discussing areas up a little further in the county, and as you mentioned they are quite different than the areas I am talking about, but I think the biggest difference comes from people tired of the commute into DC from areas further out.

I do work full time don't plan to quit I work construction so I think I might have a leg up with reno.

Should I go arm 30year 15year interest only 203k construction loan?

Then loan adjusts to 2.5% over FNYS rate.

All you need to do is enter the following information:The Loan AmountTenor( In Months)Rate Of InterestYou can move the sliders to your left or right to adjust the value or you can directly type the values.
