Thanks Patrick, I'll look them up. 

Hi Tarik,

 Around 12 months generally but it depends on the size and location, we've done some in 8 months and others in 18. That's construction time, usually they're sold before we complete them but if not add that time on as well. 

 Yes all from the ground up.

Hi,

  My name's John, I run Gambrick Construction, one of the highest rated custom new home builders at the Jersey Shore. We've done over 100 homes since 2000, million dollar ocean front homes, commercial retail projects, medium size buildings, and a few government projects. We've been in business since 1971, have perfect credit and a solid, steady business and even we are having a hard time securing funding when we need it from the banks.

 I've decided to start looking for private investors to fund high end spec home building at the Jersey Shore. The banks are nothing but a headache and I'm not interested in hard money lenders. I can't tell you how much money we've lost due to time wasted dealing with banks, the great deals don't stay on the market long enough for banks to approve the deals.

 I'd appreciate any advise you can give me on the best way of finding private investors. This is my first time trying to secure money outside of a bank so I'm very new to all this. 

 If you know any investors or are one yourself message me any time and check out our profile on Houzz if you like or our website gambrick.com.

Cheers,

John.

Hi,

Take a ride to your local construction office to find out if it's zoned for that type of building, they'll give you a folder with a checklist for everything you'll need to do step by step. 

Then you'll need an architect / engineer to draw up the plans for you, they'll be lots of site work and you'll need a builder like me to handle construction for you. We've done a few medium size commercial buildings like what your describing here in NJ. 

Sounds like the property is large enough for condos so a variance shouldn't be required but if it is you'll need a lawyer.

Good Luck,

John.
