Before You Sign on That Land: What Builders Wish You Knew

Buying land for a custom home feels like progress. You found the lot. You made the offer. You closed. Now the real planning can start.

Except if you bought the land before you tested what it can actually support, you may have just made one of the most expensive mistakes in the entire process.

Chad Eslinger, owner of Eslinger Homes in Lake Oswego, Oregon, and founder of Construction Flow, has three projects on pause right now. Different homeowners, different budgets, same fundamental problem. They bought the property before they priced what they wanted to build on it. And now they're stuck.
