Question about home building

[Ray Alvarez]

Hi everyone,

I'm new to the forum and had a question regarding home building. I managed to save up over a hundred thousand dollars and have excellent credit. I even managed to get a rough estimate on how much my bank would give me for a  construction loan and it was around 600,000. Before I do so I wanted to see if anyone has done this and if it was a good idea for an investment? I figured this was probably one of the toughest things to do as a first time investor in real estate. If anyone could give me any tips or locations it would be fantastic.
