I have been around new home construction for several years as well.

But I do have over a year of construction experience.

This is similar but different ;-)I am planning on building an addition on my home that would be a great room on the main floor, and ALSO have a finished space in the walk out lower level for an office for both my rental business but MORE so an office/showroom for my 'day job' of construction/remodeling.

I'm debating between the following,because I'm going to get a construction loan which will be disbursed in phases, should I rent out each unit as and when it is completed?

One thing you could certainly do to raise it's market value is redo all of the drywall and finishings to bring that up to current standard home quality and design.When it comes to Buying it... take advantage of some sectors of the market thinking the home should be undervalues and snatch that thing up cheep. get it looking good and make off with a bundle.I am personally looking at Modular construction here in Houston.

We have known each other a little bit for years as we are both in the construction trades with great decades long reputations.

Are there any multifamily developers in Portland, OR who can give me a broad idea of what range new construction is costing per square foot (not including land/permitting/etc.) these days?

I'm a licensed agent/buillder who's life game plan is to continue acquiring rental properties and hope to someday build new construction homes.

How much should the split be if I am a realtor I can assist in finding the house along with the GC finding the house I'm carrying all the risks of financing, my credit card for material until draw and 3% for design he however is loan originator, therefore earning off of my loan, as the GC, he wants to be paid for service as well as subs, he wants to be paid administrative fees of 3% of the loan, construction management 9% and construction reno o/p 25% ...he will carry labor until bank draw.

Modulars built in pre 1980s have 2x2 construction.
