I am looking at building a house on a spare lot we own. Can you all confirm the process order and anything I am missing?

1. Decide on a floorplan
2. Receive construction loan quotes
3. Receive soft appraisal
4. Sign Build Contract
5. Take out construction loan
6. Site Survey, Site Plan
7. Construction to occur
8. Certificate of occupancy
9. Final appraisal
10. Mortgage quotes
11. Close on cash out refinance
12. Rent out via Property Management

Quote from @Ben Robertson:

I bought an empty a while back for a good price and I want to build on it. It's currently zoned A-5 which is a single family detached home with a lot size of a minimum of 5,000 sq. ft. The numbers for a duplex look better than a SFH but I'm wondering if I would have to get it re-zoned to a 'B' which is for two family homes.

Has anyone ever re-zoned anything in Ft. Worth? Would re-zoning this be a mere formality or would it be a big pain?

Thanks for the help everyone.

Ben, It CAN be easy (straight-forward) to change zoning from A to B. Couple things to check into:

Is there other multi family near your lot, or only SFH's?
Does the city have a master zoning map and does multi directly conflict that?

Here in AZ we have a number of parcels change zoning. Here an application is submitted to City Planning and Zoning. There are multiple publicly advertised hearings and then the P&Z Commission votes.

I'm also in Northern Arizona. I've looked into this, and to some extent, am already doing it, to a smaller scale.

Cities don't like tiny homes. I've seen countless projects emerge with enthusiasm, only to be destroyed in the permitting process.

I'm building prefabs in Cottonwood and it's a nightmare.

You want to get land at the county level–and if possible in Coconico, not Yavapai. They're much more anti-development here.

@Martin D. Not too long ago, Cottonwood added (more) friendly Tiny home ordnances to its' books. I'd love to hear about your prefabs.

I'm in Cottonwood as well and have looked at local zoning requirements for this. Best bet would be some county land.

Lenders (either banks or private money) finance RV parks and with articulation, tiny house camps are similar.

I'd love to connect too.

Has anyone here developed a park in Arizona, namely near Flagstaff or Williams?

Check out: https://livesmall.net/ a new tiny house community in Flagstaff. I'm not associated with it, but I'm in Cottonwood/Verde Valley and love tiny houses and RV parks. I'd love to chat.

We like the idea of investing in Mexico. Haven’t pulled the plug on Mexico yet though.
