Dirt to Dollars:
How (and WHY) to Get Started in New Construction
with Lionel Finley
OPHP Credits: 1 hour each in Purchasing, Appraisal, Contract Law, Negotiation, and Exit Strategies (What’s This?)
There’s a market problem we’re all trying to solve:
- Existing homes are more expensive than they’ve ever been
- Good deals on rehabs are harder to find
- Competition for profitable rentals is fierce.
Which is why more and more investors are starting to ask a question they never thought they’d ask:
“Should I just build, instead?”
New construction isn’t just for large developers anymore.
It’s becoming a realistic path for investors who want to create exactly the product today’s buyers and tenants are looking for instead of competing over yesterday’s inventory.
But there are obvious challenges:
Building isn’t just buying dirt and hiring a contractor.
One mistake in selecting land, budgeting, permitting, financing, or managing the project can erase your profit before construction even begins.
Aaaaand…that’s why we’re bringing you this full-day online workshop, so you can understand the challenges and rewards, the tips and tricks, and the dos and don’ts of building YOUR next rental or flip.
Lionel Finley is a licensed General Contractor, entrepreneur, Realtor, and experienced real estate investor who will walk you what the process looks like—from finding the right lot to deciding whether to build to sell or build to hold.
Whether you’re brand new to construction or simply wondering whether it’s the right next step for your investing business, you’ll leave with a practical roadmap for getting started in new construction.
You’ll learn:
- Why new construction is becoming more attractive in today’s market
- How to evaluate markets and identify high-demand locations
- How to choose between raw land and teardown opportunities
- When the numbers actually make sense to build to rent, and to build for resale.
