I almost built a spec home in Linden Hills earlier this year and have looked at some flip possibilities in Longfellow and NE Mpls.  

X has been homeless for decadesand stole battery packs from Lime scooters and electric bikes.While soddering (sic) them together in his unit, he started afire from the lithium battery packs.

(I wish, still have several others to complete first, then the long vacation).I expected a minimum of $3.5M for the exit and was able to close out at $3.35M but did keep one of the buildable lots which is worth at least $100k, possibly $150k, so after I either sell that or spec build on it, I will have obtained at or close to my target.

This guy makes you money, no wait, no spec...been around every block, follow the crumbs...he literally gives away for free..no lie..were are talking clean titles for learning experiences.

I want to Spec build in nicer nearby areas (redondo beach, hermosa beach, manhattan beach, culver city, los angeles etc).I hold a real estate license but do not have it hanged with a local broker.

I borrowed $100k on my HELOC to buy a lot and build a spec home in Edmond, OK.  

Hi Suhail-My husband and I own an LOC and build spec homes to sell or hold in DFW.

While I am mostly doing development, spec building and build to rent, there are a lot of opportunities locally for you. 

Personally I do not mind bringing business somewhere else, last year I bought 3,000 angle stops and 3,000 faucet SS hoses, sent them a sample/spec, HD sells them for $6-8/pc, supplier prices were $1-1.15/pc, spent another $.50-.60/pc on air cargo and etc.

I also force appreciation with each and every purchase, but my attitude is that if I'm putting that much time, effort, and risk into rehabbing a property from top to bottom to my specs and getting it dialed in and performing with a great long term tenant, then I'm keeping the darn thing, and choosing property that I think will do well with market increases in value and rents over the long term so that the optimal strategy is to keep it.Having said that, I'm not under any delusion that the SoCal market will go straight up all the time, and seeing as how it is a hot market now it would not surprise me one bit if it went down a bit in the not so distant future ... it is of very little consequence to me, though ...
