I have not made the transition that you are making but my brokerage works with a number of contractors that also invest and I can say that deals are made even sweeter when you can manage a project yourself and get all your materials at cost.

I'm branching out to Chattanooga for a potential project and I'm in need of recommendations for any reliable contractors.

If you wanted to do a 1031 exchange of 3-5-10 sfrs into a new project this could be the ultimate setup.

@Chris WalshIt sounds like an awesome project.

This was determined to be not sufficient to carry out the demands levied against the service so the USMC numbers have been growing over the past few years and thought it appears to change yearly, the actual authorized manning numbers are approved and projected forward several years so any short term war/crisis will have to be handled with current manning and reserves.

phase 1 is usually a lender requirement.. on that small of project unless you have some knowledge that it was once a gas station or something..

I have reached out to local developers to buy me out and they are all too involved with other projects.

But since have rebuilt credit and capital for down payment.Is anybody doing new construction small multi family projects and how are you financing them?

It may make you some money - but it will be a long project.

But he may be right as well. you should have gotten multiple bids before you started the project. that would have addressed your concerns regarding overpaying.
