Client Results

Real Builds, Real Cape Fear

★★★★★

As a real estate investor, finding a GC who understands the numbers is rare. BTL built my first spec home in Wilmington under budget. Already planning the next one with them. These are the builders investors need.

James K.
Wilmington, NC — Real Estate Investor
★★★★★

I had a vacant lot and no idea what to do with it. BTL walked me through my options, structured a build-to-rent agreement, and delivered a rental-ready home on schedule. The lot now generates income every month.

Sandra M.
Leland, NC — Landowner
★★★★★

I flip houses and have worked with a lot of contractors. BTL gave me a real scope with real numbers before we started — and they hit it. First flip, they were $2,400 under budget. I've already contracted them for the next two.

Common Questions

What Investors & Landowners Ask Us

Straightforward answers to the questions we hear most often from real estate investors, house flippers, and landowners across southeastern NC.

Yes — this is one of our core services. If you own a vacant lot or underused land in southeastern NC, we can build an entry-level or mid-level home on your property. We coordinate permitting, design, and all subcontractors. The result is a new home you can rent, sell, or hold as an investment asset. Contact us to start with a no-cost site evaluation.
Yes — flippers are some of our best clients. We manage light cosmetic flips, standard mid-level rehabs, and heavy gut renovations. In southeastern NC, light flips run approximately $15–$28 per square foot. Standard flips run $30–$55 per square foot. Full gut rehabs typically run $60–$95 per square foot. We provide a written scope and fixed bid before any work begins so you know exactly what your return on investment looks like.
Entry-level new construction in southeastern NC — designed for rental income — typically runs $95–$130 per square foot of finished living area. Mid-level construction with upgraded finishes runs $135–$175 per square foot. Site costs (land clearing, utility connections, permits, septic if needed) are separate and vary by location. We provide full project estimates including site work upon request.
You have several paths. (1) We build a spec home on your lot that you then sell for a profit. (2) We build a rental unit you hold for monthly income. (3) We partner with you in a joint venture where we provide construction and you provide land, splitting returns at project completion. (4) We connect you with investors or buyers looking for buildable lots in southeastern NC. The right path depends on your financial goals — let's talk.
Actively, yes. We are always looking for the right investors — people with capital, land, or both — to partner on spec home projects, small developments, and affordable housing builds. If you have money sitting idle, a lot you are not using, or an investment opportunity that needs a dependable builder, let's talk. We structure deals that work for both sides with clear terms and shared outcomes.
We are based in and primarily serve southeastern North Carolina, including communities across New Hanover, Brunswick, Pender, and Onslow counties — Wilmington, Leland, Hampstead, Jacksonville, Burgaw, Southport, Holly Ridge, Bolivia, Castle Hayne, and surrounding areas within approximately 60 miles. Contact us to confirm service availability for your specific location.
We work within networks of investors and capital partners actively looking for properties in southeastern NC — including off-market opportunities, vacant lots, and properties needing rehab. If you are a property owner considering selling, reach out. We may be able to connect you with the right buyer or explore a build-partnership on your existing land.
A spec home is a new home built without a specific buyer under contract — built to market specifications and listed for sale upon completion. For investors and landowners, spec homes can generate strong returns in a market with limited affordable housing inventory. BTL Industries builds spec homes at budget and mid-level price points to capture demand from first-time buyers and working families in southeastern NC's growing market.
