My wife and I have been flipping homes as a side business. We want to acquire some multifamily rental properties but they are few and far between in Oviedo so we're considering building new. We've been looking at a few vacant lots zoned R-2 but having a hard time finding a custom home builder.  Can anyone give recommendations? Looking to buy the lots and start the process mid February. Thank you!

I would suggest you call Tom Mosco Homes in Orange City.  He only does great work and is honest and a great guy.  I would definitely use him.

I have seen many of his homes under construction in central Florida.  Let me know if you need his number.

Also, I just saw pics of your Palmetto house.  You did a very nice job.  I saw the house before, and just didn't see the vision that you did there.

Thanks for info @James Barnhart . I'll give him a call. 

Would you happen to know any lenders that would do an investor construction loan? Most lenders will only do owner occupied construction loans.

Palmetto house took a lot more work than we planned but it's under contract and we're positive on it. Thanks for the kind words. 

I do not know those lenders.  But, a builder should know because they want those type of loans.

I can 2nd Tom Mosco he builds a very nice home and I great to deal with. We work with him through our company Miller Window.

Hi Joshua - any luck on finding builders to build new multi's? I'm also in the central florida area and have an opportunity to build new duplex on a couple lots so starting to do this research now. Thanks! 

I called Tom Mosco Homes and they stated that this can be done. I am actually looking into this as well in the Volusia Area and possibly Central Florida, but will need to make sure I find/locate a LOT while verifying zoning, etc.

By chance, has Anyone had any luck? 

Any Information is well appreciated, thank you all for your time.
