Good morning guys! My new build is moving right along. There was a little bit of delays from all the rain we had which is common for spring time. But the foundation has been dug and poured hopefully not this coming week but the following week the block will be installed, which only takes a day. Juan, is there anything that sticks out to you about my foundation?

What’s up fam! Decided to finally get this done. It’s actually still being worked on and will be out 4th of July 2026! Part immigrant story… Part military story… Part entrepreneurship story… $5.99 on pre-order: https://a.co/d/0fq0MRMD Big thank you to all of you for supporting and just being entrepreneurs. Thank you for being the type of people willing to get into the arena. The type of people who fight for more, set the example and are the leaders in our families. Let’s go! P.S. The cover is just a placeholder and still needs work. If there is ANYTHING I’ve learned is that “done” is better than “perfect.” Build 2 Rent, Juan

I recently got my site plan to start building. It looked good to me so I gave it out to my contractors. My concrete guy recommended I have a surveyor mark out my corners of the lot and the corners of the house. But when I gave them the site plan he noticed an issue in the measurements from the architect. The overall distance looks like 61.26’ but it’s not. It’s only 55.86’. So we lost just over 5’ . Which put us at 6’ and 5.5 ft on each side of the house. Instead of 9 and 10 ft. We were close. Because city requires 5 ft on each side. I could have had to redo my whole house plans! I don’t think I could have caught this because I didn’t know where the lot pins were. Take a look at the pictures and see if you can tell where the architect messed up.

Not kidding... this is a monster of a house... Did a quick 4 min video about it for you! It get's the job done. What do you think I should do with it?

Hey guys, I thought I would share some positivity tonight. After my local bank got bought out by another bank, and this being my first build, my finance got shut down for my new build. I was going to fund my new build with my equity from a rental. Talked to another bank, but they wanted sooooo much info. I also never did get a response back after I asked him if they would lend being my first build. So I tried a local HML that funds a lot of local flip homes for investors. I’ve heard great things about them so I decided to send over my info to him. In less than 12 hours he approved me! And best of all. He’s funding the entire build cost. Not including the land. Which I’ve already purchased for 11k. Breaking ground the end of the month. But rates are definitely high. But I think this year I am going to be okay with that. This will be my learning to build year. Will I make money? Sure. Not much. But I think I will enjoy building over flips for real and flips to rent. I’m just so over these old homes guys. And contractors hate old homes too.
