I didn’t include the cost to build a barndominium due to the range being so wide. It varies largely on your preferences. Due to the all of the customization options, it CAN be cheaper than a traditional house but not necessarily.

You absolutely do not need a realtor to build a home. That's just adding cost to the project for no good reason. Just do your own extensive research before you talk to anyone or spend a single dime. All the information you need to have a successful project is already out there, you just have to take the time to learn it before you start. Also check references before you hire a builder!

Mine is steel construction throughout. There are many in my region. No issue with financing or appraisal.

We bought land in texas and are about to build our barndominium

You forgot to mention the most important thing about barndo construction: it is pole, or post & beam construction, which is why it allows for those massive spans, and quick construction. In rural areas most construction crews are familiar with the method as virtually any other building that goes up is a pole building.

Good evening! We can lend on barndos (with only two comps needed outside of the subdivision/neighborhood) anywhere in SC, with plans for further expansion into NC, GA, and TN.

I want to build in NC. I already have the land, free and clear !

My wife and I want to sell our home find land and build a bardominium. I’m still researching to get more familiar with the process.

I am slowly heading towards a BARNO build somewhere in NC / VA.

The amount of lumber that goes into a framed house exponentially adds to the amounts of mistakes and bad installation. Barndominium doesn't transfer loads to walls like framed houses. The loads are transferred mainly to post.

This is what my Wife and I want in the Mid-west Soon!!!

Good rundown. I need to start envisioning what retirement is going to look like, and sometimes I think about a barndominium on 20 to 50 acres. I would have a small plot to grow some veggies and keep chickens, some covered parking for a big class A RV or fifth wheel, a 3-car garage, a private airstrip, and a hangar for a Cessna. Although the chickens may not be big fans of the Cessna coming and going.

We have 3 adjoining lots together free & clear. They have been rezoned Commercial Highway which allows for Single Family Attached. There exists a cottage each on two of the lots. A hazmat hassle to remove because of asbestos siding. Wondering if we could incorporate them in a single Barndominium build spanning the width of the three lots.🤔 Live in Virginia.

Yo great show thanks for the info

Any issues building in Charleston SC with Wind codes? You know of good Builders that have build Barndominiums in Charleston area?

Your Local Community Lender here - You are totally correct when you made the statement about portfolio/in-house products. These loans are not easy to sell downstream which prompts us as a lender to keep it on our books. Hence, we then face higher risk and servicing costs which originating a conventional mortgage loan does not. With all of that being said, if you work with your bank and inject ample equity/downpayment the in-house side could actually turn out to be a more simple process. Trey Brownlee III NWFL Lender

I thought the deal with the bank/tax issue was you got a loan for a metal building, and you build out the inside separately. Sell the property I dunno I intended on keeping mine.

I missed your point about getting a realtor to work with you and the builder. If it isn't being built for resale, why would this be a help? Realtors don't necessarily know about building and construction.

@upstatescliving

Representation. Just like you wouldn’t go to court without a lawyer. Having someone on your side (for free mind you) can save you confusion and possibly lots of money. Having someone on your side that knows what to look for in contracts to make sure everything is consistent is invaluable. Builders (not all) have been known to take advantage of buyers who don’t know any better. I’m personally not a fan of blindly signing off on papers for the one who stands to collect from me, drafted up.

I building made out of steel beams will collapse quicker than a build made from wood beams. The steel will buckle where the outside of the wood will just turn to ash

Not only should you work with a realtor but also an insurance agent who knows what you are building and has insured this type of building. If its hard for a lender it will be hard for an insurance agent. get a rough quote before beginning the building prosses. If you cant find insurance the bank may call your loan as it will be required. Also cost of insurance may be high on this building. Allot 10k a year for insurance for home, and umbrella. That should be the Highest I could see it go but that's based on Arizona Numbers.

Majority of the barnuminums being built are pretty much the same as a conventional house. They used 2x6 walls on a slab. Only thing different is metal broken metal siding. You still use trusses. Not much different. Now if you are talking a post frame house, then that's a different story. I am doing a post frame. Doing goods on the inside and outside. But I don't have to worry about financing because I am going to pay with cash.

Can i please get more info and pricing??

I have seven acres in Georgia on a road that has about six barndominiams. I think I will also build a Bardo. I refuse to build a stick built house. Wood doesn't do well in the south with the humidity, termites, wood ants and rats that eat through the wood to get into the house. So, it either concrete or a bsrndo. Buy the way, I met my husband on AOL in 1997. Of course I did a criminal background check on him before we met in person. We have been together ever since.

appraisers not able to get a great value for the home is a great idea when you have to pay annual taxes!!
