Guidance for a New Builder in DFW

[Lissa Dear]

Hi everyone,

I recently finished up a builder mentorship program in Dallas, TX where we built a home (1500 sqft 3bd 2.5ba) from the ground up. I'm currently working on another project in Terell, TX. 

I want to complete more projects, and I have access to subcontractors, lenders, architects, realtors, etc. The whole team basically.

I also have the time to dedicate to projects, but I do not have enough capital at the moment to purchase my own lot. 

Can any builders/developers share their experience getting started or which route is best to take in the current market?

You just need to network locally. There is a lot of money in DFW and there are a lot of real estate meetup there, aka REA's, REI meetups. I would consistently go to those and meet investors. Or hang out at places where people with money go, i.e. nice hotel bars, nice restaurants, country clubs, etc.
