We looked at Hi Line Homes but went with Reality.  They are both good companies.  With Hi Line, you are responsible for purchasing the land, getting septic/sewer, electricity, and citywater/well to house.  They build house but you usually are responsible for construction clean up and painting and other things as the contract states.  We purchased our land with a well on it and septic design through our construction loan.  You can also use construction loan funds to pay for building permits.  Also most important asap is talking to Electric company and getting engineer out because until you have electricity to sight, they cannot start building.  Because we already had the well in and septic design done, it cut a lot of time out of the process. Total it took about 6 months from closing on our construction loan to occupancy permit.

Thank you.  Could you, or could you refer me to someone, who can spell everything out step by step?  That's what I really need. 

 

Also, how much down payment was required for your construction loan?  You see, I am in the military and am planning to use my VA benefits for this (no down, only a funding fee of about $300.00 I think it is...   I'm told that a building/construction loan requires a lot of money up front to secure the loan.  VA will not back a construction/building loan. 

 

WE're also looking at existing homes and considering building our custom home later, because of all of the red tape you have to go through when building a home.

 

Thank you for the input -keep it coming please?  Anything you can tell me would be helpful.

I would be happy to help you.  You can reach me at http://www.ziprealty.com/agent/detaylor.  We  did not put a lot of money up front.  It does vary by loan.
