It's not enough to review blueprints and designs on paper; a face-to-face meeting with potential  builders is imperative.

There are so many so be sure to filter by your location. 4) Review Dave Meyer’s The State of Real Estate Investing Report 2024 (in your resource page as a member of BiggerPockets!)

She suggested me to do so as well.

We always encourage investors to come to Birmingham and drive the streets of the area your agent is suggesting.From what I've seen, most investor-friendly agents will be suggesting C/D class because the yields appear most attractive to out-of-state investors.

After speaking with a very reputable agent he's suggesting new construction in Madison, AL with the builder offering a rate buy down.

Any ideas on what you all would do or suggest.  

She works fast and responsive but she never gives me any meaningful suggestions or recommending properties, but showing homes only when I ask.

I definitely suggest you reach out to me to further explain. 

Again as Chris suggested, avoid a cost plus engagement and ask up front for copies of the subcontract proposals to ensure they tie in accurately to the overall budget.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
