I am trying to understand if they would be any challenges with purchasing a lot that has quite a few oak trees as they can't be removed as there are policies around tree removals. could i build a small office commercial unit of about 5000 sq.ft in this lot?

Rehab portion of the loan was to repair some interior work worth up to $65k. unfortunately 1 month after closing, I had one of the tenants that was getting evicted complain to the city and I ended up getting a bunch of building violations. 

Hi there - my husband and I are preparing to build our new house (on land we already own). 

@Sophia Boro, I think in many (probably smaller) municipalities that there are not good records with building permits, building inspections, etc.

Hi Paul, You can use an SBA loan to purchase a self storage building as this type of asset is considered a business. 

I have done 15 deals in the past year and half, and I currently have 20 new townhomes waiting for build permits.

Drop me a line or connect with me—I'm itching to swap stories, exchange ideas, and form lasting connections that will fuel our growth in the world of real estate.Here's to seizing new opportunities, forging meaningful relationships, and embracing the endless potential that awaits us on this thrilling journey!

Normally, I would expect to see all units prior to writing an offer and that is still what I recommend; however, my client chose to proceed without seeing the other units when prompted; presumably because the building was so new.First lesson: do your best to see all units before writing an offer. 

Professional investors do this by sending thousands of mailers to distressed property owners, or building local "We Buy Houses for Cash" websites that rank well locally in search results. 

One of the inherent risks of new builds is locking in an interest rate.
