The builder helps to secure the land and even take on the construction loan if I make a decent downpayment.

He’d draw up the plans, go through the appropriate avenues for approval, and then I’ll pass it along to my builder.  

One built in 1954, I took out builder's risk policy (which Allstate doesn't write so), I got insured from somewhere else. 

@Raymond Hill my sense is that due to the various costs and regulations involved, as @Brandon Ingegneri mentioned in his examples, it just makes more economic sense for builders to focus on single families than multis.I think it's related to the fact that most single family purchases don't make sense from an investment point of view because as an investor who's looking at income and expense #s to determine what you can offer, you're competing with owner-occupants who have very favorable financing and are buying because of the school district and because they like the kitchen and bathroom, not whether the rents vs. expenses & mortgage is profitable.In other words, because of the favorable financing and "use benefit", the buyers of single families almost always pay more per unit than the buyers of multi families.

The big thing for me is that the bathroom looks "builder grade" and not recently renovated.

Thanks to the confidence builders I continue to hear, we are closing on two single family properties at the end of July with my brother.Couple of notes I wanted to say before questions.1.

Does anyone know of builders who do high-end townhomes in Greenville, SC?

I had similar issue with my general contractor (Amit Shah of Rothwell Builders in Englewood, NJ) when we were building our house about 7 years ago.  

I'm a former builder who got rocked pretty good in 2008 then took a job out of state and just recently moved back to the gulf coast.  

I recently booked a single family home from a reputed builder in Frisco, Texas.
