I really just want at least a basic site so that when I send out notices to all my old construction clients that I'm now happy to help them with real estate, they'll have a site to go to.

Both purchased pre RE collapse as pre-construction with 100% financing (irrelevant)...I see a large disparity with the prices of certain homes Im looking at, and the potential Section 8 Income.

Not from a "I'm thinking about being a spec builder" perspective (believe me, I'm not), but from a "how many markets out there have a median price below the cost of construction".

I am a handy guy, and used to do some exterior construction (fences, irrigation, arbors etc) but nothing interior short of repairing stuff at my house.

I now feel like there is some hope for constructing a deal where everyone can get what they want.

It would be all new construction.

Hello BP Fans,I currently own 6 single family homes of which 3 are rented, 1 goes on the market next week for rent, 1 under construction and 1 waiting to close on.I'm putting an offer on a house which if i get, would be the most expensive rental I would own.

But he's local, he has other related construction and hauling businesses and crews and he's not aggravated by his tenant pool (like I am).

Both are priced way below construction cost.

Waterfront lots do sell and Wells Fargo and BB&T offer programs for folks to purchase lots with the intention of building but it is not construction or construction permanent financing to the best of my understanding.Good luck.
