Calling Florida Power and Light, told me I am caller number 475, please wait patiently, and my cell phone had 30% battery left, with no way to recharge. 

Spec builder wants to build on an expensive ski lot I own.

I’ll PM you the addresses so you can check neighborhoods and comps. if any look good to you, you should be able to find some houses for sale with the same specs, in the same neighborhoods with similar values according to Zillow.

I have a buddy that is a real estate agent in Lufkin, and it seems that he is up there building spec houses. 

I replaced the batteries at the controller near the bedroom and it worked.

Am thinking of teaming with someone to build a spec home on piece of property and sell it (or maybe rent it). 

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.. 

Info you can get on county GIS site includes sale date, specs on the house (s.f., basement,etc.) and purchaser name, etc. 

This is only a 4-plex but the CE officer told me that the big complexes will send someone through a few days before to change the smoke detector batteries and make sure they work but by the time the inspector comes, 25% have been removed by the tenants. 

You need to get the ARV right for the property's specs and go from there.
