re: Construction Loans and being your own general contractor?

Small town banks may be your best bet. I am building a house right now and am the contractor. No real issues so far. The bank we are using is real easy to deal with. Just call and tell them how much I wrote the check for and it's done. We owned the land free and clear. We also had approx 1/3 of the total in cash upfront. It's been a pretty straightforward process so far.
