👉🏼 Join my free community (downloads, trainings, chat, live Q&A and more): www.skool.com/the-land-hackin...
Nowadays housing prices and cost of construction are insane. But what if I told you that with some creative design and planning you can build your own dream home oasis for around $300,000. Well, I did it. The majority of my videos you see on this channel are from the home and property I built for $285,000. This video is part 2 of three videos, where we go over critical steps to building your dream home. We’ll also cover how to make money on your property with listing strategies on sites like Booking.com. Be sure to subscribe and comment if you want to watch final part 3.

This is one of the best videos breaking the cost of building materials that I’ve seen in a long time 👏👏👏
This video is what made me finally build confidence that I could do it. You are amazing because you honestly don't have to do this and to do this at this level, absolutely THANK YOU. Easy for some folks to critique in the comments but it's easy to be a Monday morning quarterback. Sincerely, thank you for DOING THIS, at this level and sharing this, FOR FREE. I've got the land already for my STR but will probably look you up first once I'm ready to get started because if you did this for free, imagine what the paid course lands you (which might've been your M.O. but I don't care, it worked!!!)
Best tutorial on building an awesome house for cheap. I’ve been searching a video like this. Talking about all the solid decisions for foundation, walls windows etc
The Instruction on this is Amazing! I finally understand the different foundation types. Impressed, Subbed.
I appreciate that you are bringing a ton of value in this video. You promoted yourself in a good non sleezy way. I will be subscribing and checking out your program. Great content Good video quality Well done!
This might be one of the most informative and well done videos I've seen on youtube. Well done!
This was useful for those of us looking to do the same for the first time! Saw part 1 and 2 and looking forward to part 3! What are the best ways to find reliable builders and contractors who are not CON-artists?
Amazing content. Keep up the good work!
Great Content, Keep Up The Good Work
Super informative. The estimated cost breakdown is pretty on point for most areas.
congratulations - home looks dope!
Foundations can also include: Brick lined cellar w/ dirt floor; Pylons driven into loose soil to gain stability; Cason construction in wet soils; Elevated to avoid floods; Insulated Concrete; Dirt-crete and sealed; Dry stacked stone; Wood Beams treated or not depending on location [We have these in certain Indiana neighborhoods]; Basements poured concrete, hewn stone, or concrete block.

2024 Framing our 2000sq ft home cost us $170k stick framing with a few steel beams… nothing horribly complex. The drywall was $62k.. foundation was about $37k. Plumbing 23k and electrical was 19k.

Just so you know, we typically recommend a liquid budget of at least 40k from our new members, as we have found that to be a good starting point to get involved in land hacking, depending on the area, whether or not you already own land, & whether you plan to do a lot of the work yourself or hire it out. Our top priority is to ensure the success of our students in their land hacking ventures & we believe that starts with a sufficient budget.
I wish the labor cost around here Canada Ontario would be close to this one, once I paid 4k to just re insulate and drywall one of my wall, and the wall is not even big.
yup. most have way too many operable windows including the ugly single hung. fixed glass in many places with single or dbl casements for ventilation. also i have conditioned attic and crawl space. no vents. closed cell under the roof with susp batts to keep the stupid codes happy. also taped zip wall. my 1440 sq ft with trusses and scissor trusses in the great room 3/2 with 4 walk in clo and huge utility pantry and typ 9' walls so all the windows and sliders are at 8'. $130k in 2020 in NC including the treed lot. no garage

I like the ideology of treading lightly on the landscape so I agree, slab on grade is not the go. Prefab is also the way to go using SIPS panels to lower energy bills. Using a mono slope roof means you can angle it at exactly the right angle for solar.

But it is…with an FHA loan that’s only ~$13k down. Even a construction loan at 20% down is $60k. Monthly mortgage on $300k would be $1500 - $2000/month. Or $18k - $24k a year, most of which is tax deductible. If you land or property hack you probably won’t even have a mortgage. So yes, it is extremely affordable. Unless you don’t have an income or capital, then everything is unaffordable.

modular homes are supposed to be cheaper. They're made cheaper, they're made with poorer cheaper things. This trend that a cool modern design means $400 sqft house that is delivered by a truck is absolutely outrageous. $400sqft is mansion construction levels. absolutely sickening what this industry has become. Insurance covers only a fraction of prefab homes due to the dog water tier constructions or finishings. They looks good but it's ikea level.
@KaiAndrew

Negative ghostrider. You're speaking like another person without construction experience. You're confusing modular, manufactured and pre-fab homes. There are modular and prefab home that are built significantly better than your local townhomes and mass produced homes. Putting up a higher quality home in 1/5th the time of a traditionally built home is valued by a lot of people. And $400 sq.ft. is definitely not mansion level. Have you looked at major cities lately? Seriously, look at any major city with more than a population of 1m and you'll see a lot right around $400 sq.ft. If you want cheap, go buy a single wide or shed and throw it on you land. Done.
