Not sure what your experience level is.. Spec building Is usually the province of farily experienced types.  If you have no experience you will probably not get any financing and will need to do the entire project out of pocket.

That's a hard one.. we all have to start somewhere and most that start are in the trades and understand how to build and what it takes.. easy to get burned big time.

That's why you have this whole cottage industry of fix and flip most anyone can buy a run down house and get a contractor to fix the kitchen bath and other items but from ground up that's a whole nother kettle of fish

 Well, I have cash along with an equity line of credit and wouldn't need further funding. This of course if I stay within my bracket. I haven't formerly been employed in the construction trades, however I have worked with my brother who has owned a home remodeling business doing reno's, additions and everything in between. Also, my life long friends are contractors and electricians, so I feel very close to the industry and with my brother and friends have a list of trustworthy contacts.

I know risk is involved and would like to take a small step toward getting the ball rolling.

Thanks for any help,

Charlie

Hi,

I just joined the site and hope to be a productive member.

What I am looking for is if someone might be able to point me in the right direction. I would like to get into spec building of homes and need to know where the best resources would be on this site.

Thank You
