If you have sufficient equity in your existing home, you may be able to use that as collatoral against a loan to get you started, rather than actually having to sell the home to "release equity"\n\nStart talking to lenders.  And make sure your FICO scores are exceptional

In order to get funding or any kind of loan for a business venture of any kind the first thing you need is a business plan showing all aspects of the business.  It needs to include all income sources, expenses, start-up funds needed, assets etc.  Then take it to a bank and start the ball rolling.  Good luck!

If you can afford it, and it will get you into your own home, then yes.  100% financing is quite popular nowadays for people who don't have a large down payment available.  Go for it, it's an investment on your future!

This can be really complicated to answer.  Basically, you need to go where the money is.  Certainly you've made your requests clear to your current investors?  Where are their friends?  Amazing how secretive/greedy people can be when it comes to sharing (good) investment advice.  Call every bank, real estate company, mortgage company, investment group, investment company and talk to the right people.  If the returns are as good as you say, you should be able to drum up enough investors.  On the flip side, maybe the people with "money" are concerned about the housing situation; is your area getting overbuilt?  Amazing too how many contractors get myopic.  Part of succeding in business is being able to "see" changing economies and adjusting as required.  This IS a cyclic business.  If the rates don't stabalize here, people will tend to stay put.  Don't get caught with unsold spec's that you're forced to start "discounting"  I don't know where you are, but in our hot, hot market, the wise old builders are being very careful and building mostly pre sold customs.

There are many legitimate sources for funding.  Do a complete research project since it is for yourself, and be sure you have a competent lawyer on your side.  There are many law firms that provide services on a sliding scale (according to your ability to pay)\n\nThe United states Government has sources that can help you for free.  Look at every avenue available to you thorough the internet. Look at the sources link I have provided for you.

Reality check. You can't.\n\nYou need access to funds, either your own or the bank or hard money lenders. Houses cost money.\n\nYour only other option is to swing some owner financing deal, where the owner is essentially your lender.

It's best to have two or three banks in which will give you a construction loans on each house your building.  The construction loan should cover the cost of the land and 80% of the value of the home.  I hope that you already have your sub-contractors set up and ready to go, each sub will have to sign lien-wavier forms and you will supply that to the bank.  It's a lot of work but can be rewarding.  Good luck to you.

This is the HUD page on available grants. Check your state and contact them if the grant is available in your area\n\nhttp://www.hud.gov/offices/adm/grants/fundsavail.cfm

Yes. There are tons of options. The best one in my opinion is 100% financing. Contact a local broker who can give you the best rates due to the availability of being qualified with several lenders. They are all competeing for your business.

You can go to the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support a for-profit venture.\n\nEven if you buy books on "how to get grants" or list that supposedly has information on grants -- all of them are mere rehash of what CFDA has, albeit packaged differently. But still the info is the same - hardly any grants for starting a for profit business.\n\nFor specific housing grants, go to HUD http://www.hud.gov/grants/index.cfm but you will be asked to go to Grants.gov to apply\n\nhttp://www.cfda.gov\nhttp://www.grants.gov\nhttp://gtionline.fdncenter.org\nhttp://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol66/grants.htm\nhttp://www.sba.gov/expanding/grants.html

You might try the Atlanta Technology Angels (although they do primarily tech deals), or go a bit further afield and talk to Ariel Savannah Angel Partners. Those are both bona fide groups of sophisticated angel investors that actively seek out and invest in plans. A short bit down the food chain is the Gathering of Angels, which is a periodic event that takes place in a number of cities, including Atlanta, at which four entrepreneurs pitch their plans to investors. The problem with this one is that they will charge you $2000 to present.\n\nIf you feel like simply casting your plan out on the waters, so to speak, you could give a try to "Funding Georgia", which is a web page front end where you can post your business plan and hope that some investor sees it (pretty unlikely, but they claim to have 28 investors in Georgia signed up, so who knows?)\n\nFinally, if you want to try farther afield, take a look at the directory of the Angel Capital Association, which lists virtually every legitimate angel investment group in the country. Good luck!

Your site will be used as collateral security to grant you loan. There are loan against property available. Let me know, where exactly is your site and how much loan is required?

There are loans available that allow you to purchase a home with no disclosure of employment or income.  You usually have to have good credit to this type of financing.\n\nAlso, be sure to discuss options with the builder regarding who will do the interim financing during construction.  If you cannot verify income at the start of construction, the builder may take the construction loan, and you could get the permanent financing loan after the house is built.

If you are good at managing people and have spare time, you can be your own general contractor. You can save up to $100,000 by cutting out the middleman and buying your own materials. \n\nAnother alternative is to buy a pre-built home. The large builders now have homes made in a factory and shipped to the site where they are put together. They don't look like "mobile" homes; you'd never know they weren't built like any other home.
