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.

incredible quality, so much to learn, so underrated, would be glad to meet you in person one day

[@Satronaut-pw3ij]

I got rid of all direct light fittings and instead used LED strips hidden at skirting level and cornice level and it looks awesome. Then I just use task lighting where it is needed like floor lamps and bedside lamps for reading.

[@napoleonwilliams444]

This has been a great series… Awesome work!

[@KaiAndrew]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@randomuser3061]

I watch a lot of KZbin and this is one of the best videos. Even the time meter on the ad actually kept me watching. The animations/edits are really great. Perfect audio/video quality. Great channel!

[@athenacarter6756]

For the shipping container ceiling, couldn’t you have used a 7/8” thick hat channel + 1/2” thick gyp bd = 1 3/8” thick to not have to have exposed conduit??

[@lasanhan9282]

Hi Kai, thanks for the great content here! You said avoid big box stores like Home Depot and Lowe's for LPVs. Where do you normally source your LPV materials?

[@SWSimpson]

Building smaller and then adding additions later on... See what the fees are to do additions to your home, because it can add a lot to the cost of an addition, and if you are going to do two or more additions, in time, the fees for those additions can add up, which means you are paying a lot of money to the county that is not going into the build. If you do three additions, it could be the cost of doing one of those additions. So, it may make more sense to wait to do an addition until you have enough money to do the entire addition so you are only paying the county fee once instead of two or three times. I looked up the fees for additions in the county where I want to put a house, and I was surprised how high the fees were for one addition. I thought, I'll just add this later and add that later... but it doesn't make sense for me to do it in phases. Maybe one addition later on, but the other things I want to do, I will build sheds that don't need permits-- Like two sheds under 120 sq.ft. each, with with tools and storage, the other to use to work in.

[@paulsankan5067]

Great video one thing you forgot is appliances

[@rga1888]

He did utilities in another video. If you mean home appliences, like a kettle, toaster, etc, that's not PART of the house.

[@abbyleighton.studio]

Love this series so much!! Really wanting to do something like this, however having all the funds upfront is obviously a large issue for many just starting out. Are there ways to finance the entire build and what kind of loans are available for this type of project? Would love any insight you may have on this. Thanks!

[@KaiAndrew]

Yeah, I don't expect people to this with cash upfront. That's why I'm giving contractor pricing estimates. That's folks can get a one-time close construction loan. If you were to do all the work yourself you could do it for $100k-$150k.

[@BrettMaverick]

Hey man, I looked at DEN for design but they're all pretty small & basic. Where do you find the more interesting designs like the ones in your videos?

[@KaiAndrew]

I think you're referring to my kit home video? If you go back to it, I give the names of each of the manufacturers. But if you like a particular style you can always get a designer or architect to design something similar for you too.

[@mccloudreynolds4568]

Great video and information. Can you provide a spreadsheet of the breakdown of the costs as you have it in the three video series

[@D-Harb]

Your doing exactly what my dream goal is in Real Estate! Great work, I love the videos. I started flipping land to pay off debt. As soon as I sell these 2 acre parcel by Yosemite National Park, I will be going all in and most likely sign up for your program!

[@scottwood6003]

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.

[@BootlegEL]

Nice breakdown,what is the actual return percentage revenue?

[@jamesbrooks985]

Great video

[@KaiAndrew]

Thanks!

[@totallyoffgrid3008]

We are doing earthened floor at almost no materials cost

[@hotsharkchicks]

Isn't LVP toxic? Which is its biggest downside, instead of something like tile.

[@crosisofborg5524]

I totally disagree with luxury vinyl plank for flooring. I used it in one of my flips and it sucked. It looks cheap. It’s thin. It breaks easily. It is not an equity building product. I stay with 14mm engineered wood flooring. Looks fantastic when finished, is inexpensive and easy to install.

[@KaiAndrew]

You gotta use the good thick LVP. I agree, engineered hardwood looks and feels much better. I put it in two rentals and it was absolutely trashed. It’s also about double the price of LVP.

[@ShameenYakubu]

LVP is fine if you get the right quality... It's more cost effective than engineered wood and it can look just as good.

[@shaggyfeng9110]

So cool! Great video!

[@natehalsell5460]

Great series and once I have the disposable income to throw around, I hope to reach out and join the community you've built some time soon hopefully. but - QUESTIONS.... after watching all 3 parts; I kept noticing what looked like some wall mounted modern arcade cabinet thing? What even is that?

[@twopaddles8239]

thanks, another empowering video.

[@KaiAndrew]

More to come!

[@dperolio]

Thanks for the video. Could you link me to the LVP you show in the video? And does thickness of the LVP matter or just the wear layer? Do you use an underlayment? Glue down or floating? Thanks!

[@KaiAndrew]

I don't have a link to the LVP. Thickness isn't super important, but ours tend to be on the thicker side because it has a foam backing. No need for underlayment. Yes, it's floating.

[@joeyscleaninglady2877]

how are you insulating the roof with that tongue and groove ceiling?

[@williamdavies1977]

Avoid open-cell: it retains moisture

[@romanrudisuhli7028]

Awesome 👏🏻

[@KaiAndrew]

🙌

[@carsonc4134]

Time stamps ❤

[@Rinker44]

Gonna need a part 4 on financing lol

[@rolandmitchell718]

Where roughly did you find land this cheap?

[@KaiAndrew]

Literally everywhere. I showed it in the video.

[@D-Harb]

What is the name of the A.I. for Paint Designs? 16:37 mark

[@DomiSiki]

Midjourney

[@crosisofborg5524]

$7k to paint the interior of a 1000 sq ft home? Bruh! $1000 tops. I’ve done it a dozen times.

[@KaiAndrew]

Hey man! Well, yeah if you do it yourself it is always cheaper. Trying to get people realistic pricing if the hire everything out.

[@OLgoods]

4000 + 3000 per internal cooling unit?!!😂 what? that's a huge rip-off

[@KaiAndrew]

Labor is expensive these days. You may find cheaper brands for $3000 + $2000 per if you’re closer to the city
