Read the site first
01The property comes first
The same floor plan can be a different project on different dirt.
Before financing can be shaped, the homesite has to make sense: legal access, utilities, drainage, terrain, restrictions, intended use, and a plausible completed value.
For acreage, start with the rural Texas site-work and utilities guide. For unusual home types or thin comparable sales, see how the as-completed appraisal works.
