we did the first 3 in a 18 month period we used internal funds so no debt.. these were 350k to 400k all in projects.. so U need cash to be a spec builder or you need investors if you dont have cash..

Quote from @Michell Chase: I am working with a hard lender on a purchase/reno and they require a builders risk policy even though 1 unit of the 3/4 will have a tenant.  

Looking for some advice.A prior tenant did some malicious damage to my property.I called police, they attended and the report said they were wearing body worn cameras.

The builder that Vinod has a contract with is Elite builders( I never said that they were bankrupt) as I don't have this information from the builder nor the public records.

A builder that knows the area very well.

This is a tough one for new builders.

My significant other and I decided to use a builder she had done business with in the past.   

Since you are not doing super high end finishes as mentioned, doing high end flooring and all other stuff just above builder grade does not warrant tile or full wood flooring. 

Lol, every single time I've decided to do the painting myself........about halfway through I am regretting it big time......my body hurts, it's mind-numbingly boring (I think that's why painters have the drinking/druggie reputation... :-)

But seems tricky as none of the builders are willing to sell to investors in and around Columbus region ?
