Hi all,Just wanted to check if any fellow investors have any Idea how much will be the cost of construction per SF on the Montgomery area, we are looking at some lots to build a duplex or 4 plex in the area, this will be to build refi and hold, I'm a General contractor in South Florida Miami area, we are now pricing in Ocala FL to start developing new construction and the SF is favorable to build and sale, In Montgomery we will no sale we want to keep the property, we do porches and remodel now in Montgomery and the CF is very nice, but we will like to have better and more solid properties, anyway, if someone can recommend a GC in the Montgomery area well be highly appreciated.Thanks, all

Depending on a few factors like your credit score and construction experience, you should be able to get up to 85% of the build cost. 

For ground up construction, I’ve heard good things about the Real Estate Investing Mastermind and some construction specific groups like The Collective.

I want to do ground up construction.

We have multiple borrower right now that we did flip or new construction loans for that have their properties sitting on the market and we're moving them into DSCRs.

Looking to avoid home inspectors that do minimum standards of practice and's will check every single detail. I will be relocating my family and will be purchasing three new homes 

Incomplete construction: The development is not fully constructed or has not met minimum pre-sale requirements.

Some New construction builders have great incentives lowering interest ratesWilling to be corrected, but I don't think you can use your VA loan for a strictly rental property. 

For investors branching into commercial or new construction projects, what’s been your biggest challenge so far — securing financing, managing costs, or appraisals?

I think we're in a buyer's market here in Austin for the next 1-2 years at least if you were to ask me to make a bet on it.
