With D R Horton to be exact. We signed contract to build our house back in April. Construction was supposed to begun over 5 weeks ago but nothing is build yet, not even foundation. I'd be alright with it but we agreed "verbally" to close on our house in September which puts us less than 3 months away. We contacted our builder and asked him wtf is going on? Why such a delay? He lied to us and told us that construction would start "tomorrow" but it didn't and it was over 2 weeks ago, instead builder is trying to build inventory instead of our house. We sent him an email today and he completely ignored us and instead start building 2 other inventory homes... I'm dumbfound of wtf is going on? I do not want my 300k home to be build in less than a month... What are my options?

The builder does not have the ready cash to build your house, that's the issue. He's going to try and build a couple empties, sell those at a discounted rate just to get some cash in pocket to build your spec house. I'm guessing you have a bunch of extras added to the base home, which means he has to go get specific products instead of using the usual materials and he won't get his quantity discount.

Sure, there are plenty of builders out there wanting to work, but the big builders are getting killed because they have a lot of inventory on hand which is costing them money and the last thing they want to see is someone walk in the door wanting a custom home, or a standard design with a ton of upgrades.

This doesn't make any sense, unless the person is financing with the builder. If Arsen has outside financing all the builder has to do is start construction to begin being able to get inspected for draws from the financier.

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?
