Dream Home Disaster

This is my most intense dream home update yet! Amidst the long delays, surprises (good and bad), and roller-coaster of a time this dream home has been for my family, we are FINALLY at the finish line - or so we thought. It’s like that scene in the movies where the main character is about to cross the finish line - the camera slows down, you can hear their heartbeat, and you’re wondering whether they’ll make it, or end up losing to their archenemy! Right now we are in that slow-motion scene. Will we cross the finish-line? Or will the problems end up mounting more and more until I lose? Let’s find out in this update!
Investing in real estate for the last 10 years, Chandler David Smith currently owns over $25 million worth of rental real estate. During this time, he has had some great experiences being able to share his passion alongside his family and buddies. He has seen them absolutely crush it when it comes to the investing and sales world. More importantly, he has been able to share his expertise with others and learned invaluable lessons along the way.
Chandler dives DEEP into all of the ins-and-outs of his dream home: the progress that’s taken place, what is left to finish, the new completion timeline, and all of the other little details that go into a dream home! Keep in mind that there are A LOT of unknowns when you take a step into the real estate world - things fall through the cracks and honestly, anything could happen. But - this is life! When you take the proper steps that Chandler teaches here, you CAN mitigate your chances so that you will be taking the smallest risk with the highest return possible!

The bathroom wall that needs to be reinforced but has already been tiled: Rather than rip out all that tile, open up the wall on the outside of the bathroom and thus leave all or most of the tile in place. and only have to replace plain drywall.

[@sammyj4555]

Exactly my thought as well!

[@kdog622]

Hello neighbor! We live on the other side of the canal and have watched your build in awe from the first shovel oh so long ago! Looking so forward to having you and your family move in and get settled! Just can't wait to see what's next with the landscaping! What trees are in your "orchard?" See you soon!

[@josiahhein6036]

Your house is insane! Way to go!!! A lot of your "mistakes" sounds like things you just wouldn't know, if you didn't know. There's so many moving pieces with a build like this and so much going on, I feel like as someone who isn't a professional contractor, there's no way you could have caught most of those issues you had! Glad the house is almost done and congrats on all your hard work paying off 👏

[@Dope4life97]

That’s what’s wrong with this country. Trades not collage

[@asyablake]

The before and after sponsored by was HILARIOUS. you’re right, it looks WAYYYYY better after. I don’t even know what room was my favorite, the laundry room was ahhhhhmazing!! The mudd room is a dream, all of it. The kitchen. The tile, the herringbone pattern in the mud room is gorgeous, beautiful house. I was like 😮😮😮 thru the entire video!!

[@RCPhotosVideos]

Definitely a peak inside how the other side lives.

[@jaggirl]

Hmmm. Peacocks

[@thenewwayhome]

The tilework and the kitchen area are an absolute favorite! Love every detail in your home. Great work!

[@bwenzin]

I must say the compound is massive! Just to remember people watching this that this big of a house does not make sense for most people.

[@IRLSuperb]

Exactly!!

[@obie1coby]

Your unwavering ability to be positive in the face of obstacles (family, evictions, contractors, etc) is the reason you continue to thrive and I continue to believe this is one of the most inspirational channels out there.

[@Mike-qe2us]

900 days is not that bad for a huge custom home with indoor pool, basketball court, etc. We have also been building a custom home on the side of a mountain in So Cal. Yesterday was day 1460 (4 years). We still have another 6 months to go. Great work and love see the videos on your progress!

[@Dolly-Days]

Congratulations to you and the family! It’s beautiful and I am excited for you all! Also, we will keep you all in our prayers for all that you are going thru. May The Lord continue to bless you!

[@jojoply]

To build any home to me would be a dream. I’ve always wanted to do just that.

[@webdeveloper2025]

The only thing I wished you had was a sauna. I live in Utah and I am building a sauna in the garage. My father has stage 4 prostate cancer and I know the sauna will help him detox his body and fight this cancer. It will help you detox after a workout and children will love it, too.

[@nmurphy7281]

Buy a heat pump dryer, no vent needed! We bought one a couple months ago and it’s great.

[@donnawojcik1271]

As I watch this I’m thrilled that Maddy got to enjoy the house for a short time. God is good. I hope the memories made last a lifetime ❤️❤️❤️

[@tannerbrowningfilms]

The house turned out amazing! Still need to catch my breath. 🤩 so stoked for y’all.

[@wzeng02]

What a beautiful home!!! The color blend in so well (from door hinges to faucets to door knobs, etc). The attention to details are amazing. Beautiful dream home, even got a basket ball and movie theater. Wonder how much it cost to built.

[@tonireedagency5006]

Well done Chandler!!! I have been watching the build since day one...Well worth the wait :) I absolutely love how everything has come together and I can't wait to see how you guys furnish your DREAM HOME...God Bless!!!

[@davekovacs8818]

House looking great ! Hope you get lots of enjoyment from all that hard work ! Continued prayers for your wife and brother ! Can’t wait to see next update on landscaping and theatre. Would love to hear the wife play the violin in one of these vlogs

[@pats1373]

Nice house, but man I don't know if I could live in something that nice.

[@tuck6464]

ANYTHING custom, ALWAYS, costs more, ALWAYS takes longer, whether you plan worst case scenario or not, if you want to finish on time/ on budget, double your original quotes and time frames, then add 25%, and consider yourself lucky ,if you pull it off. What a dump. Even tract housing projects, and rehab's are clusterfuks at the end/ wrap-up/ punch list phase.

[@marcm3017]

looks amazing...BUT how does it not drive you nuts that the pot lights arent centred on the hood in the kitchen

[@ElaineHeath-co6sv]

Just watching your video showing that beautiful kitchen.....now I remember Maddie dancing around it....' I will fight for you ...., I'm not giving up.... and the real disaster was losing her. Your videos give me strength EVERY day....I'm not giving up ❤

[@georgesenda1952]

Should’ve done the house design like a story board movie that way the contractors and subcontractors would’ve known everything you wanted it at a time and not said it’s your fault that’s just an excuse for them not want to spend the money to correct their mistakes.

[@demorippa]

You videos are very comforting

[@MortgageEasy]

I have no idea how you locked in an interest that low for that length of time without paying a TON of money to lock it that long. The bank would be taking it in the shorts other wise when you close.

[@BackstoryTabi]

That is a mansion! Absolutely stunning!

[@gaillangila6771]

I sure don't care for the gold fixtures at first I thought they were cooper

[@angelwingstn3392]

A lot of negative jealous comments on here. Why? Chandler has obviously earned this. Its a beautiful home and I am happy to see people make their dreams come true. I wish his wife would have had more time to enjoy her dream home.

[@themanironmask]

This hurts to watch with home prices dropping dramatically. Would take a loss even if you tried to sell now likely. But... if you can afford it, keep it, what a gorgeous home!!!

[@MattWolfe1019]

I love that indoor pool area and the gymnasium/basketball court!!

[@brucebanksshow]

Do either of you think this is too much house?

[@Aaron-Miller-1138]

Yes. Way too much!

[@jjansen987]

Congratulations on your dream house! Looks amazing. There is a reason Custom homes are so much harder to build. I great owners rep is always recommended.

[@t3true-games]

I watched every minute of this video like Im going to build my own mansion any time soon.. But great info. AnD AMAZING HOUSE thanks for sharing!

[@makatt3994]

[@Heavyisthecrown]

Omg I can only imagine how amazing the house smells!!! When we finished our new build the smell of the new house 😍😍😍😍 almost as good as a new baby smell! Much love to your family! It’s clear how grateful and hardworking you guys are

[@donnawojcik1271]

His wife died I don’t think he cares 😢

[@RichardPennetti]

I don’t think that Chandler understands that most of the country today are working 2 jobs just to put food on the table and can’t relate to this. That said, It has to be bittersweet with losing Maddy so soon after moving in. I wish you and the children much happiness in this stunning home. God bless

[@ChasePowellFinacial]

Came together really nice. Thanks for the input.

[@lclunday3421]

That's a huge liability I wouldn't have built it. Smaller is better in the long run.

It is crazy to think that it has been 800 days! Coming along awesome thought!

[@mjmikaelson]

Thank You for sharing! The house looks awesome!

[@makatt3994]

[@jarrettlancaster9023]

Your house is absolutely incredible man! Congratulations.

[@tamil1001]

Great video! For a custom home every single tiny detail/finish no matter how small needs to be determined, specified and priced out at the beginning especially for a cost plus build.

[@donttouchmysilver8202]

Your theater room is a 10 out of 10

[@kyleholmes5624]

I think Miele has a ventless dryer if you decide the vent is too difficult to add.

[@Greatenergy720]

Great update! Wonderful looking project. Enjoy 👍🏼

[@donttouchmysilver8202]

I love everything about your house minus the entry and the pool in the garage

[@kaden56]

Interested in why you don’t like the pool? Also just because it has a garage style door doesn’t mean it’s in the garage.

[@donttouchmysilver8202]

@@kaden56 just coming from California it’s weird that it has a garage door vs nice French doors into the pool room. Why not a sliding glass door instead with some tint if he wanted an indoor/outdoor feel. It’s such an odd design choice with no cars being parked inside

[@kaden56]

@@donttouchmysilver8202 Fair enough. It’s a common design where I live to have in/outdoor areas separated by garage doors. There is a big new home down the street from us that has a theatre room separated from their back deck by two large garage doors that have the same look as the one he has by his pool. I think the benefit is that it’s automatic, easy, automated, etc. A living room would obviously not take that approach haha, but I think it’s appropriate for a pool room.

[@mr_arroz]

Chandler’s home plus the Stradman’s garage would be epic!

Congratulations i'm happy that your too, kindly in the next video I wish to see your children, i miss them.I give you a credit for being a good Dad

Any updates on furnished home and floorplan please? My favourite is the pool area. Enjoy your lovely new home.

[@gerberfamify]

That's a LOT of house. I'm curious why a McMansion? I envisioned your sweet family in a 2,000 ft² cottage with lots of charm...this just seems like overkill in every way.

[@JoanneGoodman-b5h]

I agree it’s so over the top who needs a house that ridiculously huge with 4 laundry rooms? There must be 20 tv’s . I wonder what that costs?

[@kcob643]

I guess you can have overkill when you’re a millionaire and dying 🤷🏻‍♀️!

[@donnawojcik1271]

What does it matter now 😢

[@hemidancer64]

If I had the resources, I would do the same thing. I love spreading out in my home, where everyone has their own space.

[@catherinemcdavid1533]

It is clear, they were trying to set up a home like their parents and grandparents have/had. When family wants to come stay with them or needs to stay with them.. There is plenty of room and the ability to maintain comfort, privacy, and function.

[@Lilmonke_586]

Awesome video chandler. That’s one heck of a house! Would love to see you do a grand total of what everything cost beginning to end including landscaping and furniture. Staying tuned.

[@IRLSuperb]

Just the living room of this house would make me happy. And here he’s complaining about issues that he encountered while building “his dream home”. Now don’t get me wrong. I have my own home and it’s a typical three bedroom two bathroom 1700 ft.² home my point is humans will never be happy no matter how much they have. They will always be some type of negative issue that they have to focus on no one has ever said “I am 100% happy with everything I have and everything I have done”

[@Aaron-Miller-1138]

Their problem is pride. People are so proud they can’t appreciate anything. 😔 I live in a 900 ft.² rental with my beloved family. Three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and we are grateful for what we have. We have humility. 🙂 It is a fact, the rich are proud, the poor are humble.
