Should I build to rentv
If I can get $1,000 rentals on a lot and 1400 sq ft new build for $100,000 all in, why shouldn’t I rent the home? In Dallas a high appreciating market, I want to build a 1400 sq ft 3/2/1 on my already developed lot, medium grade finishing carpet and tile mix, 80/20 brick and panel. The price of the lot and build will be $100,000 roughly all in.
Why don’t people do this strategy more? Someone convince me this is a bad idea. I don’t hear much about this topic. I intend to rent for two years then rip that carpet our, change the counter tops etc and sale
In addition, I imagine I’m allowed to use a bridge type loan where I term out the original construction loan to , say 20 Years. Am I allowed to also refinance from that arv of $180,000 in my case?
I’d love more insight and opinions on this. Any help is appreciated!

I’m considering this as well. Researching what it costs to build out medium finished 2000 sq ft property. I can buy land for in the 20 range. Pay cash for it all and avoid most of the holding costs while building. Also looking for the downside.
