    Arrow Purchase lot and build?

    Has anyone been successful in purchasing a lot and building a home and making a profit? I have found some bargain lots and I could build a home but from the prices I have seen lately in the same area, I could buy a home 2-3 years old already built for about the same money even if I was given the lot for free.

    1200 sqft home - Free lot + 100,000 to build = $100,000
    1200 sqft home built in 2003 - $99,000

    What's the key to making a profit here? Finding an inexpensive builder? Should I just avoid this type of investment? Hold on to the lot and sell lot later?

    Thanks for your advice!

    Matt
