I have the fancy car - a Mercedes SL500 convertible - that it driven so little that I had to charge the battery yesterday.

You want to build a spec house somewhere in the country and are looking for advice, right?

I don't own any rentals right now in Austin (I've been doing small spec home projects here), but if and when I do choose to hold some in the area, I will absolutely be going with High Fidelity. 

If you asked about moving for development or spec building, I would say Austin.

Drew -- is it possible to partner on a spec house with your employer?

Here are some more detailed specs of what we'd like:- Approx. $600k, ideally post-improvements- 2/3/4 units (occupy 1 unit, rent the others)- Off-street parking (garage or driveway)- Reasonably safe neighborhood - closer to Manhattan is better, but we would like to feel safe- Neighborhoods in the process of gentrifyingThanks all!

Our sign only had the phone number and no further info so we did spend a lot of time weeding out prospects over the phone after going over specs but we are hoping our online listings, which list our qualification standards and the property description, will help do that for us.

A good builder will exceed those specs and market it as a value added item.

Hello BPI am a veteran builder for the last 15 years building custom homes, remodels, and a couple of spec homes.

I've been developing spec homes but now planning on using the BRRRR strategy with cash up front to start incorporating buy / holds.
