The longer it takes to break ground, the higher your carry and the more equity you need.Construction inputs – Labor and materials haven’t returned to pre-COVID levels, and with insurance and interest rates rising, the spread just gets tighter.You can solve #3 by building with lower quality materials and smaller units, but you cannot overcome #1 and #2 in most instances.The only way to really build affordable housing that cash flows is to do it in areas where land is still affordable, permitting is less burdensome, and there’s demand for workforce housing.
Daniel K. Sacrificing my pandemic era mortgage rate for a crazy cash out refinance offer
20 June 2025 | 27 replies
The other thing is that the OP states that the bank offered a loan up to 90% - I wouldn’t be surprised if (1) after he applies they decide that 80% is max and (2) they add points and closing costs which further ups the break even higher than the 7.9% I calculated and (3) the banks appraisal of the property is a lot more conservative than a “unbiased” appraisal.

Many high-net-worth investors take a blended approach - allocating a portion to brokerage accounts for growth and liquidity, and another to real estate for income, tax strategy, and diversification.You’ve already done the research - now it’s about aligning your investments with your goals: freedom, family, and financial control.If you'd like, I can break down a sample allocation strategy or help you evaluate your first real estate deal.
