I just got my license in General Contracting and I cannot wait to start searching my new land for my first custom homes.
Of course, thinking and actually working is totally two things. I am now asking if anybody can give me some advice how can I start? some advices on financing?( I don't have too much cash, but I have excellent credit.)
If you are have any experience, please let me know.
1) Land searching
2) Financing
3) Finding labors(trade)
4) Selling the house
You got a General Contracting license and don't know the first thing about the steps to actually build a house? Damn, your State needs to tighten up their requirements on who can get a GC license, I would hate to be a person who buys your builds.
I'm with Bydand here-
All of those questions should have been part of the licensing curriculum.
For what it's worth- maybe another profession should be looked upon.
as i started in 91, after been employed for 7 years, i was lucky and got a request from a insurance company.we had a heavy storm here,so the most of the roofs was ripped of the houses out on a small island out by the coast.Then it took off.so try to get in touch with a insurance company or a house factory to start off with.then take it further when you got into the system.

To do insurance work you need a DBA, liability insurance and worker's comp.
You also have to have the money to complete the work, then bill them.
I have never been called by an insurance company. The insured has always called.

Sorry, I guess you miss understand my point. I am actually asking how to start up a business regarding building a new house, all of my question mostly related to " real live" problem. NOT the technical problem you came cross in the exam. Please read my question and I will be more appreciate with your CONSTRUCTIVE answer. Thank you.
The price of vacant land around me has not come down in price.
Maybe that's why they are still sitting on the market?
No sane person would buy any real estate now. Not that there are many sane people around.
