Hi, 

SB County has finally clarified what we can build on our property. We own 15 acres outright and are looking to build our primary residence. I'd love to speak to either a broker or lender, not sure yet what would work best for our situation, which is the following: 

1. The priority is to build our primary home. 

2. However, the county is allowing us to have a Conditional Use Permit on the property to potentially operate the western portion as a small outdoor event venue. I believe the zoning would remain residential rural living, although it could change to some type of mixed use. 

3. We would build a regular frame home, however, the insulation will be using hempcrete. An alternative materials permit is required by the county for this. The lender would need to be ok with that. 

4. We would use the equity in the land as a down payment. 

5. Looking for a one-time close. 

In addition to a lender/broker, any referrals to GC out here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    @Jacqueline Levi 

    Are you looking for a lender to get you build costs etc. (construction and home loan costs)? 

    GC have you interviewed any of them out there, Crown is good one, they build a lot, probably the higher end pricing through. They'll get it done though!

    Hi Peter, 

    I'm not sure that a lender would be the one to tell me build costs - wouldn't that be the GC? I am hoping for the lender to present the best loan options in our budget. 

    You are the second to recommend Crown - they are definitely on my list to contact. Thank you!

     Meant the building costs, and construction costs are you looking to get covered?

    Congratulations! It looks like you have a plan coming up and it's also great the county has given clarification on what you can build. 

    I think the next step would be to get a GC and then come up with a plan and budget for construction, in addition to permits. All in all, it seems you are moving along nicely
