Sounds interesting. Are you going to keep a blog on your home building projects? if so, please share your web address!
btw, this is an investment and side project for myself and several other individuals so i am hoping to land this property so i can have the oppurtunity to develop both lots. It should be fun

sounds great. are you having custom plans from an architect or prefab? I want to do the same thing, for my family to live in tho, and am looking for land in the SFV. these things interest me and I'd love to see a local, real project taking shape. best wishes!

I just purchased a piece of land out in palmdale (2 acres) for $230k and the actual cost to build the home is gonna run me around $400-450K b/c the future buyer will get to choose what type of upgrades they would like (granite countertop, pool, stanless steal fridge, etc..) .. but the home itself will have all the top of the line equipment - i.e. open the garage, turn on tv, turn on AC, activate alarms, lights etc.. all from your car. House will be between 3,250-3,500sqr. ft. when its all said and done with 3 car garage.. best part is not a cent out of my pocket and profit is there. Once the construction starts the home itself should be done within 3-4 months time.
I guess its different if your going to build for personal use (i.e. make it a primary residency) or sell it for investment purposes. But if its for investment make sure you dont spend a dime of your own money.
If you need some contacts like builder , construction loan officer , etc... let me know .. the guy building my house is awesome and knows his stuff.
I work for a Title company also so I can hook you up with Title.

I'm licensed in General Contracting, and he's more then likely referring to the property + land. If he wants to charge 1mill for 3500 square feet for a bench mark layout, which is about 4 ~ 5 bed rooms and 3 ~ 4 baths thats absurd, ALWAYS get more then 5 quotes before signing that dotted line, even though it saddens me to say such things when I may be ONE of those bids, but its the truth to shopping for construction.

That sounds great. I'd love to do something like that someday (when I'm rich
and famous).
Being off the grid and then charging your Tesla with zero emissions electricity...
Wow.
