    Let's Build a Spec House!

    EXECUTION 
    Update and Question for you! Update: Just closed on the first lot woohoo! I like to think I bought this one "right". It's really important to get the land at the right cost. If you don't it eats a really big chunk of your profit. I would rather wait (or not build) than to pay too much for a...

    You'd be surprised by how many people call back. I'm constantly amazed by it. It may take 2+ years but you still may land that sale. Keep proposing man!

    Let's Build a Spec House!

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks Latestarter - I'm doing quite a few things to differentiate. The main play though is scarcity. There just isn't any inventory to compete with. I know that will change but by then I should own all the lots :) Other plays are providing the customer lots of value they can't typically get -...

    EXECUTION 
    Thanks Bellini - Our specific area is growing way faster than housing. I am trying to respond to the market needs/wants. Normally I would steer away from specs but the time is right (IMHO). I think the window is short however (3-4 years).

    Let's Build a Spec House!

    EXECUTION 
    With my new found freedom (see Anniversary post for background) my mind has been working overtime on something fun (and fastlane) to do. I evidently don't handle boredom well. So I started another business building a spec home(s). Since there isn't much real estate talk here I thought you might...

    It's all part of the process. The world is toughening you up for bigger things. Let it, just don't give up.

    I just added it up - I spent more time with my kids over the last week than I did away from them working. So yeah, they can reap the rewards too.

    What's with the negativity?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Things I've noticed over my short tenure here: 1. When the seasoned fastlaners post high quality threads - the nonsense threads subside a bit. Be the change (and get some more old guys to come back and tell their stories). 2. The mods do one he$l of a job here. I rarely contact them but each...
