Owner-Builder Construction Loan (Challenging but Possible)Some lenders offer owner-builder loans, but they usually require:✅ Strong financials (good credit, assets, low debt-to-income)✅ A solid construction plan, budget, and timeline✅ Proof of prior experience (renovations help, but formal experience is a plus)✅ A licensed contractor or project manager to sign off on the build2.

Bulldozed the house and plan to build a new house on lot in the future Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

My plan is to rent it on a short term rental basis and stay for few weeks in a year with family/friends. 

And I plan on being one of them.
