Hi all,
I have a situation here - the wife wants a new house. Yep, we'd better act quickly or else somebody's gettin' hurt Here is the skinny...we have not picked out a floor plan yet, or a builder so I am soliciting tips from people who may have info to help this process go as smoothly as possible.
1) Are there any good online resources for floorplans. I am looking for something searchable by square footage, number of bedrooms and baths, etc.
2) I have never worked with a builder before. Are there any things I should be aware of when choosing the contractor to build my house?
3) We have a piece of land in mind for the house, but are not sure what the steps are for doing this. I imagine the following: buy land, find builder, choose floorplan, finance construction(?)
I am not sure how we can finance the construction of the house when we still have our current house. Do builders accept promissory notes towards the sale of a current house?
Thanks for all your input.
