I am a contractor and I work with great contractors I have been thinking about building a house from the ground up and I would really love an opportunity to talk with somebody who has done this before and I’d like to know all of the costs associated with doing this and about how much I should expect to spend and how hard is it as far as planning and development permit’s etc.

Have worked and worked to develop some relationships but man are some people just plain flaky.  

If your main priority right now is strong cash on cash return, one way investors achieve 15% returns is by identifying opportunities in once sleepy regions that are now becoming trendy, or quiet suburbs that have a sudden growth of employment. 

Would be great to hear further developments, feel free to share your progress and let me know if I can be of any support throughout the property acquisition process!

Hello - I am working on getting back into real estate/investing, and I have a 6 figure short term hard money loan I want to fund for a developer who needs extra capital for some unforeseen problems with prepping the dirt for development. 

Yes - my main clients are multi family investors and developers so I have a lot of experience in this space.

There was a significant leak that developed in the basement laundry room -- he initially blamed us, but later, discovered it was another 'pin-hole leak' from a copper pipe (which filled up a 5 gallon bucket I placed under it, in about a day).  

Please be sure to update this thread developments with the property, as well as any others you obtain.

@Colbi Ight sounds like you need to make friends with a local developer or two. 

As an example – a car dealer doesn’t want to spend money mailing to people who probably won’t to be able to qualify for a loan.When looking for Motivated Sellers, we target homeowners on the opposite end of the spectrum: people who are most likely to be having financial difficulty.By applying Low ESI to your list, you add a level of motivation – homeowners who are struggling economically are more likely to want to sell their homes.While credit scores were utilized in developing the model - they are not actually part of the model (hope that makes sense) so there are no restrictions in using it.
