I am closing one in Charleston next month that is the case.. my agent brought it to me.. to make it work there could be no fee up front .. but we will build 3 750k specs and they will get list backs.. everyone wins.. plus they know we are cash and can close.. you need cash in this end of the business.As for small subdivisions we do those in Oregon.. and its quite cash intensive and credit.. we just wrapping up 23 homes and that took 600k  in cash and 23  300k vertical loans.. so you need someone with the cash up front can let it ride for the 24 months start to finish and has the ability to walk into the bank and borrow 7 million dollars in 6 months.. these are doable but usually takes a person a decade or so to get the experience behind them so that the lender will work with you and the investor or you need your own cash..
