Forever home build

Hello everyone,

I'm an investor and contractor from Santa Maria. I got started by househacking and building ADUs as an owner builder. Things have been going well that I am waiting on plans for 3 more ADU builds. After I finish building the ADUs, I will be pulling out what I used for the builds through a Heloan (currently have a heloan to finance the ADUs).

After that, my parents and I are going to partner up and purchase land in slo or santa barbara county area to build our forever homes. The plan is to build the main house for my family to live in and a detached ADU for my parents. The other option is to build a 2nd single family residence, but the ADU route would be easier and cheaper (especially in fees).

Has anyone here built a house on land in slo or santa barbara county?  I would love to hear about your experience!
