Quote from @Brooke Dyer:
Congratulations on pursuing your Electrical Engineering degree and setting your sights on an exciting goal right after graduation!

I'm a Realtor in Northeast Georgia who specializes in working with investors—and my husband builds single-family residential homes—we’ve learned that a key first step you can take now is to start assembling a strong team. This includes subcontractors, realtors, lenders, and building relationships with experienced investors. These connections will be essential as you begin identifying growing markets, securing land deals, and navigating new construction loans or cash investments. Having a reliable team of subcontractors that you trust to deliver high-quality work within your timeline is vital when you begin your building projects.

If construction is a new area for you, I highly recommend finding a mentor in your region. A mentor will be invaluable in helping you navigate floor plans, budgets, and the logistics of permits and inspections specific to certain areas. Having this guidance will fast-track your learning and set you up for success as you move forward.

Best of luck! Feel free to reach out if you'd like to connect!


 Thank you for the advice, I definitely would like to connect!

As the title says, I am new to real estate. I will graduate with my BS in Electrical Engineering in May 2025. After I save up some money, I want to start building spec homes in the DFW area. If you are an experienced spec home builder, do you have any advice you can give me?
