No disrespect intended,,,,, but Spend a lot of money before running numbers???? It's all about the numbers. We must "THINK IN NUMBERS." 

I can reasonably assume you're not an experienced builder or developer. With that, I highly recommend searching out a mentor to help you understand and learn these processes... (Gotta learn the what's and the whys......) ----- This mentor should be someone who has experience in the geographical area your area interested in..... Not every municipality and jurisdiction does things the same,,,,,, most have their own ways of doing things which also carry a cost! 

Good luck!! :-)

@Emad Shidiywah - Oh,,,, and howdy neighbor!  I too live in Clovis!  Too funny! 

@Gene Hacker is spot on..... I have built a number of homes in the area.  Tons of factors... Also right now you need to make sure you have a tight grip on supply and demand in that area...... I am not too far away from you in the Central Valley......  I am being VERY causcious  anywhere in CA right now if you are not ready to rock and role right this second..... 

Also, if your uncle is not an established builder/developer,,,, be prepared to jump through a lot of substantial hoops which includes having to put MUCH more capital up to get any type of loan.....especially after the bust,,, if you have no significant development (let alone building history for such a project) banks will turn you away or pretty much make you give up your first born child to get a dime out of them! 

Been there and done that when starting out..... And in the current state of the market in CA, overall,,, not being a large builder and able to fast track a project through ALLLLLLLLL THE RED TAPE (can you hear the irritation in my voice)... it will take you a long time and a lot of capital to even get started,,,, before even moving one cubic inch of dirt......!!

Could type a lot more... and don't want to bust your bubble,,,, but if you are not an experienced builder/developer in Kern,,, you will spend THOUSANDS of dollars just trying to get the project off the ground.....

Yes I am a CA deserter....... LOL

I love TEXAS!!!!!!  :-)

@James Wachob - just to clarify,,,,, is this a 1-day event or 3-Day event?  Your announcement above spans three days, but when following the "click here" link, it only addresses the 18th....

If you could clarify, I would appreciate it!  Hope you are doing well! 

Thanks @Douglas Skipworth - I'll shoot you an email! Hopefully that's OK...
