Oh, that's cool! That's a very tall building. Why was the 2nd story more expensive?

If you don't mind sharing, how much was the lot and utilities? Are you on public utilities or do you have well/septic, what about electric? Also how far away is your location from the closest city/suburb for access to services/amenities like groceries, stores, businesses, etc. I'm curious, because I want to do the same thing. It's hard to find a lot for a decent price that is anywhere near civilization. Low price lots are often super rural, and don't have access to water/sewer/gas/electric/internet/etc. In some cases it might take nearly that whole 80k budget just to get utilities ran to the property. Going off grid wouldn't be any cheaper.

@@DudeWeCanBuildIt Its funny cause its true! If a woman was involved it'd be 3x as much because she'd never have approved the structure, materials, and finishes! Everything would be custom and there would be a professional enabler (aka "designer") who is contracted out to figure out how to make things as expensive as possible. Well done to you for making this happen for less than most people spend on their truck!

Thanks!

So if I could get a loan of maybe 125k I could buy a decent chunk of land an build a decent sized home as well, a lot better than trying to get a home loan for twice as much for a property 3 times as small.

Absolutly! The exact thing I did. Buy some land, I’d had preferred it to not be in a flood zone because I had to work on building it up for a while. But buy some good land and get to building. If you have the means def go with it

Bought 27 acres for $215,000. It was in a flood zone so I spent time building the land up. Spent $400 bucks in permits. Louisiana isn’t cali 🤷🏽‍♂️

How much was the land?

You basically built a double wide trailer that doesn't move. An extra $10-20k and this place could've been nice.

Those are beautiful verses.

This is a bit misleading. You acknowledge you did a ton of work. while that is nice it doesn't show that this is cheap. It seems we would have to add 100% or more for the average person who didn't have friends or the ability to do carpentry, plumbing, HVAC installations, etc.

If you paid someone to build this it would cost around $160k. That’s still cheaper than most mobile homes these days.

No. Just tell the audience where you bought your lumber. And supplies for that matter. It will make this story of yours more credible. From my vantage point it’s not believable. Others responding have no idea. I guess?

Glidden Premium Interior Paint+Primer is $112 for 5 gallons at Home Depot. Individual gallons are $24.98. I used 20 gallons just on the ceiling, lol. Probably another 20 in the rest of the house and still under $1k.
