There are some buyers that are just a complete terror during warranty periods with expectations that are not at all aligned with the purpose of a builder warranty.

Here is my simple Top 5:1.Review the market – Understand the trends and conditions in the area.2.Analyze the property and the numbers – Ensure the deal makes financial sense.3.Visit the property – There’s no substitute for seeing it firsthand.4.Meet the team – Whether it’s your property manager, builder, or contractor, relationships matter.5.Complete inspections and appraisals – These protect you from costly surprises.If all these boxes are checked and the numbers work for your goals, then it’s likely a solid deal.

You have fixed cost so it is better to get some bodies in there so you can get market rent later. 

If you're using the builder's contract form, rest assured it will be very one-sided in the builder's favor.3.

@Linda Weygant Yes agreeing with @Montse C. here that this first needs to be discussed by the governing bodies and most likely will get tackled or at least in part tackled as it makes no sense.

we are build to rent developers in columbus ohio. we a direct builders for investors around the country. we don't sell on the open market we build from scratch and it's very relationship based. it's very different but I would consider us turnkey. we build at 75% of market value with land and investors can refinance out and do it again and gain approx 100k equity each time. ours is an infill triplex in columbus ohio. that's just my 2 cents. turnkey is deal by deal 

Quote from @Bear Geiger: At Little Bear CreekProperties, we specialize in developing large tracts of land into individuallots for home builders in the Raleigh, NC area.

Do not work with this builder!

The market has changed for both the customers and yourself the builder.

I am a Realtor and real estate investor in Raleigh, NC and I just bought 2 cash flowing properties in the outskirts- it's a new construction homes with builder special financing of 5%.
