Hi, I am working on a new construction 9-unit apartment building, with a commercial unit on the ground floor.

In my area, as far as I know, a person would only get a C of O in 2 instances: 1, when new construction is completed, before the 1st person moves in, or 2, in some local jurisdictions, like a college town, annually before you can rent to unrelated persons. 

FYI, this is my first purchase, and this would be a house hack (triplex).My offer on a new construction home was agreed to and signed at the end of August, 2019.

@Christopher B Leab Ask a few construction managers for bids to develop a scope for a sub-meter project and then have the scope bid out.

Starting off we have investors who will be LP's at 100% with sweat equity for us at anywhere from 5-10% as well as development fees incorporated to soft costs for any new construction.

The 50's was a great time for solid masonry construction, and the buildings are laid out well.

I was one of the few that could then get bank loans for new construction and subdivisions were others were relegated to HML or someone like me who wants a piece of the pie.. as a lender or banker these are the times you see whom of your clients have character and who are characters.  

Situation: 15.9 Acres wooded land ($2.7K/acre) off of a country road that connects directly to a Bypass that was recently constructed.

Plus I’ve added a 5% contingency on construction bc it’s always more expensive in my experience. 

We both work in construction.
