Most builders have some sort of one year warranty and list what is covered.

And that one plat is worth $1,000,000...so the builder's have no choice to build a multi-family property there just to make the numbers work.  

just don't build refinance or build more efficiently or more apartments cover your debt better and don't sell. unless you are building spec homes for a profit and worried about Taxes sounds like you need to switch up the style of your build and build more apartments and hold  Yes I am a spec builder.

I’m a licensed builder with over 25 years of experience.

Based on my experience builders make a lot of mistakes during construction.

And how would I go about finding a reputable builder.  

What home builder warranty are most of the homebuilders using nowadays?

I have a lot in a neighborhood with no HOA that I inherited so I didn't pay for it and I'm getting offers from a builder in the neighborhood for around $35k.

Preferred:- other student rental investors - those investing 29205, 29201, 29204, 29033, or 29169 zip codes- flippers or builders- realtors with MFH listings or vacant lots in these areas

I'd also increase the number of builders you interview. on my last project I gave 85 builders a chance to match my number since I carry a license and only 2 could get to my numbers.
