small is always going to get in your way. we are looking at large tracts of land more than 10 acres right now and the national builders that we work with for land development and entitlement in miami florida and columbus ohio focus on much larger. they do the opposite of what you are talking about.

I stay and chat for 45 minutes (obviously just phone calls are not relationship builders).

I have worked for a modular housing builder, and have sold many of them as resales working as a Realtor.

To me, it is the same as the subdivision builders where you have the same house, over and over and over again.

For example, a job with a builder will expose you to lots of things: land acquisition, new construction, renovation, trade experience and contracts, financing, permitting, etc.

Some home builders are eating profits buying down the rates with the lenders to get into the 4's or 5's fixed but it comes at a steep cost many tens of thousands in fees upfront to the lender.

We are looking to move to the north Tampa suburbs by the end of this year and considering our options between buying a resale house or a new construction house from a builder.

Connect with local investors and RE professionals who are usually willing to share their preferred team of lenders, attorneys, accountants, contractors, builders, etc.All the best!

And for anyone who says we have bad contractors, consider that every builder has a construction manager, who does nothing but keep jobs moving, coordinating between trades and monitoring quality.I am a die-hard real estate investor, so it takes me quite a bit to say this: given the remote burden on your ROI, maybe an S&P500 index fund will deliver you better returns for much less headache?
