How do you build a spec and sell for $150k and profit? 8' ceilings? #3 lumber? What am I missing here?

Alamo REIA is one; I haven't been in over a year but I get their e-mails and they usually meet monthly in a centralized location.

Slab or pier and beam foundation? Stick framing or engineered? My lot was $16k and I have no idea how I would even build for $69 a foot much less realize a $15-20k net gain on top of that...

@Barry Ratliff 

What do you typically sell your spec homes for that have 8' ceilings? 1 story or 2?

Thanks @Raymond B. 

Hah it worked!

I'm in an unincorporated area that require building permits. All I have to get permits for are right of way, septic, and flood zone.

I think for the simple fact that it will keep my wife happy I'll stick with 9 footers.

@Barry Ratliff what do you homes sell for typically?

Thank you everybody for opining on this. Maybe I'll leave out the rock fireplace instead (this is central Texas...)
