@Marlon Thomas are you talking about becoming a residential developer or a builder?

@Charles Burgess look into Toddco Builders based in Concord NC.

I have a lot of research to do on this and talking to a couple builders to pin down the details.3.

I've been told the hard part is finding a builder who's willing to build without me paying a large percentage upfront.

And even in Texas :)  And myself when i used to sell property as a broker I usually worked on tough to sell properties or builders that needed to liquidate..

If the market flips, we might be talking a different story.My father is being offered 5% buyer commissions in FL from Builders unable to offload inventory. 

@Noah Bacon Investors should be aware that, in many states, an investor can not act as Owner/Builder on a property that is not their primary residence.But as far as what Investors tend to screw up, the list is long and painful: Structural - Awful framing, undersized headers and beams (or none, Lol)Electrical - Don't even get me started......Plumbing - Not as bad as electrical but still....leave it to the Pros.And the main thing that people screw up is, believe it or not, painting.

Hello,Investors (who are non home builders ) what is the minimum warranty you require from your home builder (contractor)?

I was at a Fortune Builders seminar in the MA area over the weekend to learn more about this.

You can see ratings and reviews from other BP investors, plus their experience, deals, and more.There is also a Team Builder tool!
