I believe making statements about me based on assumptions does not contribute to a constructive dialogue.

IE its common in so many areas that the 500k home in Wis sits on a 75k or 100k lot and 300 to 400k is the cost to construct say at 150 to 200 a foot..

So I think the operative wird is balance.Note - Most of my career in Construction was spent working for exremely wealthy people that you speak of. ($12 mm dollar houses and all that....)

Could be less on newer construction but you’ll pay more for the property.  

Quote from @Dan Grove: Some combination of cash to seller, closing costs, repairs, construction, paying off arrears, assignment fees, commissions.   

Through your local bank that you are using, are you reapplying for each new home for a seperate construction loan or are you setup as a credit line with them and just submit a new budget for each new home I do want to also add that my banker who is the VP of lending and branch manager has been banking me for 30 years..WE have been through all he ups and downs including the GFC were I got almost totally wiped out financially..

I personally found this software a lifesaver.

Keep your day job.Fortunately, this is my 2nd business and my primary business is small construction company. 

Land development and construction are two different disciplines.

I'm moving because I'm ready for the paid stuff, and Zoho has a whole suite of software (from social media to work flows to appointment scheduling) and they all integrate with each other.
