It was the wild west back then and I haven't seen consumer demand quite that crazy, but I have seen builders throwing houses everywhere they can like demand will never go down. 

Is there a network for builders to find suitable R3 land? 

Could you refer me to a website for the builder that did ship to Hawaii?

Don't hire a home builder for an office building. 

Hello,I have experience with building multi family projects, my partner is a developer/builder. 

We had a builder that we know and trust inspect it and said that it is in great condition.

I am having a builder and a contractor come to see the property next week and am wondering what questions I should ask.

Thanks Julian, the owner/ builder was a contractor during his career  and I feel confident he assembled the duplexes according to code, but I will ask him about it since that is a good point when dealing in rural areas.

Because I am a builder and architectural designer and I have confidence in my ability to add value to any property I purchase and it is far easier and safer for me to work with empty building and make all things uniform and because if spaces are designed uniformly then whatever I purchase to put in the units I can buy in bulk and save money.

My thought is to start in tax deed states near high growth areas and targeting municipalities or builders in the area since those seem like the largest buyers.
