Join us as we explore the Home Builder Journey of R Dyson Colley, affectionately known as the Gentleman Builder, who transitioned from IT professional to a home building expert after being inspired by Warren Buffett. Colley shares the highs and lows of his first big construction project, showing why new builds can be a smarter choice for investors compared to flipping houses. He helps new investors break into the industry by teaching the ins and outs of home building, from acquiring and developing land to understanding zoning laws, utilities, and flood zones to avoid costly mistakes. Colley also dives into financing strategies, explaining how owning land can give you leverage for construction loans. He offers practical advice on working with traditional banks, hard money lenders, and private money, while emphasizing the value of mentorship in this challenging but rewarding field.
