I will be staying around the Round Rock area but will I'm happy to drive anywhere in the Austin area.

I mean I am an accidential builder.. having foreclosed on builders in the crash and having to finish the projects... so I have some very special education you only get when it happens to you and you have to figure it out.. was not pleasant. and it cost million or so.. but I got out.. and then I realized Hey since as the lender I am taking all the risk I mine as well just do this myself.so here we are about 150 plus new builds later and things are pretty good.Now to be fair my rock star in Charleston build a home last year then calls me and says OOPS house is 1 foot to low we have to raise it.. that's a brand new 700k home that has to be raised a foot.. cost 30k..
