Hi All,
I've got a few lots in a mountain subdivision that's west of Winchester, and I've got a lead on a motivated seller who has another 12 lots he'd like to either sell as a package or work a deal with a developer to build them out.
Average selling price of a 3 bed 2 bath home that's 10 years old or new Shawneeland seems to be about $190k. Here's a list of those sales in the last year. It's a modest but very nice little community. Here's a lot I have listed, along with some shots of the neighborhood.
I'm looking to connect with a builder who operates in that area and discuss putting some homes on these lots, rather than just selling them outright. Can you recommend anyone, or is this an area you operate in?

Josh & Clifton,
Just wanted to add my name to this thread as another BP member in the immediate area who would be happy to assist in any way I can. To date I've only managed my own rentals but am in the process of getting my VA real estate license and want to expand beyond rentals to flips and new developments.
Josh - have you considered utilizing a manufactured home from a company like Foremost? Given the expected sales price that may be your best bet to minimize $/sqft. You can also finish most or nearly all of the interior work yourself (or at least outside the principal contractor) if you lean more towards inputting sweat equity like I do. Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
