Looking to Build Owner Occupied Duplex Need Lending Info

[Bryce Bedford]

Good Afternoon,

Looking to build an owner occupied duplex, because it seems like the market inflated right now and I can build for cheaper. I am having a hard time finding a lender that can do new construction duplexes. Where can I find a lender that can do that? I was told to see if the builder would finance the project and sell it to me, but I have a builder that is building far under market value. Are there options for lenders in Texas or should I just build a SFH and refinance after the build and just begin building my portfolio from there?
