I recently purchased a property that I am planning to build a new home on. I paid cash for the lot and am looking to finance the build through a construction loan. I would like to be the GC. I have extensive experience in finance, but not as a builder. My father in-law who is a builder (licensed GC) has agreed to be the project manager and teach me the ropes. I am trying to do this without using him as the GC. My concern is obtaining a construction loan without a contractor's license. The value of the land is estimated to be about 35% of the total cost of the project, I have an excellent credit score, high income and very low DTI so qualifying for a loan would not be an issue, other than the fact that I am not a GC.

Is there anyone out there who has done this, and who could give me any tips?

Owner builder loans let you be your own contractor but can be risky due to higher costs, complex permitting, and potential for poor quality construction. Construction-to-permanent loans are easier, involve professionals, and might be a better option for most people.

The borrower who is acting as the builder will need to prove their construction project management skills to the lender, as well as meet other strict requirements. This is where the downsides of this type of loan start to become apparent.

Aside from the DIY nature of an owner builder loan, traditional construction loans involve a construction-to-permanent financing structure where the loan covers the building phase and then converts to a standard mortgage.

Cost overruns are common in construction, and without the expertise of a professional builder, owner builders are particularly susceptible to underestimating costs, leading to financial strain or incomplete projects.

Many insurance companies hesitate to offer coverage without the assurance that comes from having a professional builder oversee the project, leaving owner-builders to navigate a more limited and expensive insurance market.

While the prospect of saving money and having direct control over the construction of your home may seem appealing, the challenges and risks associated with owner builder construction loans cannot be overlooked.

My latest beef with home builders is poor water management at the exterior of homes, which is mostly about three different things done at the same time: concentrating a lot of water to one location, an anti-gutter policy, and no consideration for gutters in the future. Let me explain.

A common design for new houses is to concentrate rain water from several roof surfaces to a small area, which greatly increases the potential for foundation and basement water problems. I marked up the images from some recent new construction inspections to help highlight where a lot of water gets concentrated.

Biggest problem with gutters: maintenance. If you have trees nearby, you have to clean the gutters or they are worse than ineffective. Clean them monthly or even weekly. Forever. Can be a real problem. The higher they are, the bigger the problem. If the lot is properly graded, and the roof drainage planned, water dispersal is not a problem. Seems like a better way to go, if you can.

Great information! We deal with water management issues A LOT! It seems many homes are built asking for failure whether it be from poor gutter installation or relief, poor grade or poor location of rockbeds/landscaping that allow water to run back at the foundation. Keep up the good work, I always enjoy your blogs and newsletters.

Reuben, great site!! Found it searching for deck heave fixes. I had a contractor here today to give me a bid on regrading near a footing that has heaved. Need to fix water issue before we can fix post.

Hubby wants to put in a drain tile that directs water to the drain tile around our foundation. I asked landscaper for bid that directs water away from foundation, so a small retaining wall w a drain tile at the bottom of it leading toward a swale in yard was proposed.

Can you help resolve our unpleasant marital spat? He thinks its ok to channel the water into the foundation drain tile bc it is below our basement floor and bc we have a sump pump. (Which is on the opposite corner of the home). Our home is 5 yrs old.

Structure Tech specializes in the moisture testing of buildings for the purpose of determining if there is moisture located behind the exterior wall cladding. A moisture inspection of your property has been requested.

We will make every effort to use a caulk that closely matches the color of the surrounding siding; however in some cases the holes may be noticeable upon close inspection. If the holes are of any cosmetic concern the property owner can have them painted with a matching paint.
