A friend of mine developed a 100 lot high end subdivision from the infastructure to building every house in it. He used a wealthy financial backer. They both made millions. He went back to the weatlhy backer to do another subdivision and he told my friend he made enough money off the last endevour to do it himself.
He took the chance and did it himself and has not worked since finishing the second project. That was 10 years ago and as he explained it he would have to dream up ways to figure out how to spend all the money. BTW- He retired at 29 years old.
I would suggest looking for a financial backer and start to get away from the banks and that stupid credit BS.

Agreed. Two of my friends from high school did this, admittedly, at the level mentioned above. Man, there are not enough swear words in the English language for me to call those two lucky SOB's.
I know it really has nothing to do with improving your credit score but, if you can, you might want to look into this type of financing. I would think, if you got a loan from the construction company (which might not be impossible based upon your prior endeavors) you could tell the bank what you really think of them.
Best of luck either way...
