Using a Realtor
Know the developments/differences for states
Think creek vs dunes: taxes, home values, land availability

Every builder is different and uses their own unique set of vendors for things like flooring, cabinets, counters, etc. as well as what is standard and what is not standard for included features/items. Like with any loan, certain lenders handle more construction loans and spec home purchase than others, and have their own way of handling the purchase.
