Our blog is about keeping builders with growing inventories that are being beaten on by the banks from stepping in it.The sole purpose is to have a place to tell your story and to read those of others. We do not want to bash, but to make a place to see there are others out there. Share the stories and methods that worked and ones that brought on more headaches….the ones that did not. We have lived through some pretty tough scrapes by holding strong. Not wasting precious resources by fighting the institution or defending the act of not paying our obligations, but by showing the aggressors that this is not a market that any one builder or person caused. Showing them that we did not cause this and that we share the problem with the banks. It is up to them to notice that we are not going to just roll over because they beat on us. Stand tall, help your brothers stand tall, and for Petes sake, when they take swings at you, don’t just take it. Push Back.Post your story under one of the topics and share your story, you can remain anonymous but please, take the survey, share some of the tools that worked for you to keep alive.

I'm going to open a corporation in Nevada, file a "friendly" lien against myself, leverage it to the max, then when they come trying to collect, there won't be anything...................
Good friend of mine who's in the same boat, (who also is a friend/acquaintance of XXXX, oddly enuf) is also still working, and is on to some decent projects with a bank who still has money!

I go on a little vacation. The real estate market seemed to frenzy while I was away. More showings in 3-4 days than in the last 3-4 months!
Come home, unpack, wham! Get served! Foreclosure notice on my personal home!

We have built homes and developed land. Now we fight to survive. Please take the time to vote on the poll. Please visit the builders forum. Please email me a story. Have a great day.
