Investment Property Builders

Terms of Use

Effective September 12, 2026 · Last updated September 12, 2026

These Terms of Use govern your use of investmentpropertybuilders.com. The site is operated by DuCar Construction, LLC, a Louisiana-licensed contractor (Residential License No. 883334, Commercial License No. 63084), doing business as Investment Property Builders. By using this site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

The most important thing on this page: every price, rent, appraised value, equity figure, and calculator result on this site is an illustration, not a quote and not a promise. Your actual numbers depend on your lot, your ZIP code, your loan, your credit, and the market on the day you build. Nothing here is a binding offer.

1. What this site is

This site describes our new-construction duplex and small multifamily building services in Greater New Orleans, and lets you request a free consultation. It is marketing and educational material. It is not a contract, not a loan application, and not a listing of property for sale.

2. We are a builder — not a lender or an advisor

Investment Property Builders is a home builder and general contractor. We are not a lender, a mortgage broker, a mortgage originator, a real estate brokerage, a financial advisor, a tax advisor, an attorney, or a licensed appraiser.

Nothing on this site is financial advice, investment advice, tax advice, legal advice, or an offer or commitment to lend. Before you make a decision, talk to a licensed lender about your financing, a licensed CPA or tax professional about your taxes, and an attorney about your contracts and entity structure.

3. Pricing and what turn-key means

Any construction price shown on this site refers to the turn-key builder package described alongside it and is subject to change without notice. Prices depend on your lot, site conditions, plan selection, finish selections, permitting, and the cost of labor and materials at the time of contract.

The lot is not included in any construction price shown on this site unless we state so in writing in a signed agreement. A price becomes binding only when it appears in a written agreement signed by both you and us.

4. Loan programs — FHA, VA, and conventional

Descriptions of FHA, VA, and conventional financing on this site are general summaries provided for education. They are not underwriting guidelines and not a determination that you qualify.

  • All loan programs are subject to borrower qualification, lender approval, program requirements, and loan limits that change over time.
  • FHA and VA owner-occupancy rules apply. You must meet them to use those programs.
  • VA benefits are subject to eligibility as determined by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs.
  • Whether a lender will count projected rental income toward your qualifying income is the lender's decision, not ours.

This site is not endorsed by, sponsored by, or affiliated with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs, the Federal Housing Administration, the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, or any other government agency.

5. Calculators and projections

The Equity Analyzer, the House Hack calculator, and the Cash Flow calculator are educational tools. They run in your browser using the numbers you type in.

  • Results are estimates based on your inputs and simplified assumptions.
  • Payment figures may exclude taxes, insurance, mortgage insurance, HOA dues, vacancy, maintenance, capital reserves, and management fees unless clearly stated.
  • Projected appraised values and equity are illustrations only. Appraised value is determined by a licensed appraiser, not by us.
  • Rental income is not guaranteed. Properties can sit vacant, tenants can stop paying, and market rents can fall.
  • Real estate can lose value. Past performance in any market does not predict future results.

Do not make a purchase decision based on a calculator on this website. Verify every number with your lender, your insurance agent, your tax professional, and a licensed appraiser.

6. Testimonials

Testimonials on this site are from actual clients and reflect their individual experience. They are not a guarantee that you will get the same result. Individual results vary with the lot, the plan, the market, the financing, and the client.

7. Photographs and renderings

Photographs, renderings, and model images show representative work and design concepts. Specific finishes, fixtures, landscaping, elevations, and dimensions vary by project and by your selections. Square footage figures are approximate.

8. Property management and 10+ doors

In-house portfolio management is offered by application only, to investors building to ten or more doors with us. It is not automatic, not guaranteed, and may be modified or discontinued. For everyone else we refer trusted local property managers; those managers are independent businesses and we are not responsible for their work.

9. Real estate agents and co-op commission

Our agent co-op program requires that you register your client at or before the first consultation. Terms, amount, and payment of any co-op commission are set out in a separate written agreement between us and the agent or their broker. Nothing on this site creates an entitlement to a commission.

10. Booking a consultation

Booking a consultation through this site does not create a contract to build, does not reserve a lot, does not lock a price, and does not commit either of us to anything. It is a conversation. Either of us may decline to move forward.

11. Acceptable use

You agree not to use this site to break the law, to attempt to gain unauthorized access to it, to interfere with its operation, to scrape or harvest it by automated means without our written permission, to submit false information, or to submit a phone number that is not yours.

12. Intellectual property

The content of this site — text, photographs, renderings, videos, floor plan concepts, model names including The Spain, The Baja, The Milan, The Uptown, and The Camelback, logos, and design — is owned by us or used with permission, and is protected by law. You may view and print pages for your own personal, non-commercial use. You may not republish, resell, or use our content or our model names commercially without our written permission.

13. Third-party links

This site links to third-party sites, including social media and, at times, partners and lenders. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content, products, or practices.

14. Fair housing

We do business in accordance with the Federal Fair Housing Act and applicable Louisiana law, and we do not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status, or national origin. Equal Housing Opportunity.

15. No warranty on the website

The site is provided as is and as available. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that the information on it is complete or current. This section is about the website itself. It does not affect any written builder warranty that comes with a home we build for you under a signed agreement.

16. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by Louisiana law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from your use of this site or your reliance on information on it, including lost profits or lost investment opportunity. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

17. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Louisiana, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute arising out of the site will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Jefferson Parish or Orleans Parish, Louisiana.

18. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. When we do, we will change the Last updated date at the top. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
