My kids and I went alone to West Tx, to check out what we are dealing with, and felt absolutely safe in the neighborhood and house.My father in law left over $20k worth of packaged brand new appliances and materials in the house since he stopped construction in 2014- and everything was there and not tampered with when I went last weekend(!)....

I recently went through Wells Fargo for a construction/renovation loan on my personal residence which was a foreclosure.

I am looking into a new construction, 160+ unit apartment complex, for $20MM ($2.36MM down payment) & my investor wants me to get qualified for the tax credit. 

If population growth and new construction is happening in the area, it may be doable? 

As a kid my brother and the other boys in my neighborhood would watch A-team and MacGyver because they realised that there was always component left out when they would construct their diversions and explosions.

At the moment I'm in the process of educating myself before I begin Investing which will be either by November or December 2015.I'm going out of town to Vegas for about a week to learn from my Uncle who owns his own construction company.

I own a property free and clear but am having difficulties being approved for a construction loan.  

I also have a construction background.

I just closed on a 2050SF brand new construction home .

The contractor that viewed the property with us, estimated the cost of the construction at $100,000 with a 65 day time frame.
