In Austin you usually need a lot with SF-3 zoning (duplex) to allow for a construction of the second unit, or ADU.

For a quick answer, I think typically they require you to season your rentals for about six months and the percentage is generally 70 to 80%.

It is typically about a 2 year process.

All the crowd funding site be different but what sort of criteria do the look got typically in the borrower?

They are also getting volume discounts from their suppliers and construction crews.

The lot is quite steep, downhill, I have seen other homes built right around it on similar terrain, I was trying to get an estimate of the cost of construction in the area, plan is to build a 3000 sq ft SFH.

Most common ways of investing in real estate: Buy and hold (i.e. rent houses to other people), buy and flip (i.e. buy something that can have forced appreciation through rehab), build and sell (new construction), finance (lend money to other to do these things).

Comps show this is maybe $10-15K below the market around there (probably after the typical updates).

Crazily the government here put out a document that said that they wanted to eliminate gas heat from new construction on the grounds that it is a fossil fuel.

The original house was an 850 sf ranch on a crawlspace, built as a modular home in the 50s, with really shabby construction.
