We are considering offering this deal
“ the construction company to build a germinada ( side by side double home )
Where the construction company would keep one and we would keep one free of charge for the construction”.
So you think we have a chance in h@ll, hope so.

Since we are planning to sell this house perhaps we should put everything in standard
instead of personalizing and trying to fight for the asking price.
Thoughts are definitely welcomed
my thoughts on this, could be hard to find someone willing to do this, also could lead to some big problems with ownership etc. take care with a plan like this,

from a builders point of view, he would in effect get a piece of land free, could be worth 30,000 or 50,000 without knowing the details? he would then spend 80,000 to 100,000 building the house to 'give' to you, doesnt make finacial sense, hes better to buy his own plot and build 2 properties and sell them, thats what they normally do anyway,

if your plan is based on the fact that you dont have the funds available to build 2 houses, then better to get a loan or a partner then employ a builder to build the 2 properties, for you (and your partner) to sell on. safer and easier to find a willing partner/invester than a builder to follow your original plan.
