In addition to that, platforms like HomeAdvisor or Angi are great for finding vetted professionals, and local builders associations or the Greater Beaumont Chamber of Commerce may have directories or recommendations. 

Hi @Blake WinieckiI am the GC for Blueshine Builder, we build single family houses and duplexes in Cape Coral and Lehigh Acres FL.

What if you keep the property the way it is, use it as an equity builder..

May not be your cup of tea but they are cost efficient and they work to add passive income at a fraction of the cost to build a SFH.There are a few "Tiny Home" builders in Tampa and Manatee doing a ton of business.  

I am more likely to take a risk, but i suspect when my husband is out from under a controlling baby mama, he won’t mind a little risk either.I love Texas, try to vacation there often and my husband is aligned with Texas farm property as a ten year long term goal.I’m also passionate about the trades and if i could do it all again I’d be part owner of some kind of builder or remodeler or specialty trades business.

I was 3 months into the rehab when I found out that I needed a whole other category of insurance (builders risk) instead of the homeowners insurance I got on the purchase and that for all intents and purposes, I wasn't covered if something happened.Its a little thing amongst the many things that occurred on that first flip, but I always look back and say "who knew" and know that I know now.

Jay, I am not sure what the market really looks like for builders in Midland-Odessa but it is crazy that there is not more activity in multi-family in that area. 

Estimated CostsADU costs can range DRAMATICALLY depending on the state of the lot, custom vs fast track plans, size of ADU, materials and finishes, speed and quality of the builder, etc.

You need to minimize upfront expenses because 100% of your investment is at risk and lost if the lot is not buildable.My favorite strategy is to locate the property and tie it up for usually no more than $100 for a period of 8-12 months, analyze it myself and if I believe it to have a chance at being buildable I create a permitting plan and market the property to other investors/builders willing to take on the permitting risk.
