[@mediamattersismycockholste562]

Barndominium: a live in structure with shop space to mimic a 'barn' in order to avoid being listed as a house or other structure that needs an additional water meter or will be taxed as a live in structure. Typically seen in rural areas and built without permits. Also cheaper in such a scenario. Now becoming a 'fashion trend' as a normal house replacement with all the baggage of permits, taxes, and cost. I only mention this, because when my Dad (who has been on various water boards in Texas for decades) first started seeing 'barndominiums', it was for someone to build a living structure for additional family to stay in, on a large acreage, where they did not want to fork out big bucks for a water meter. The local tax assessors all use drones to verify buildings on a property these days, and can figure out square footage from the roof size. What a lot of folks do is build a pole barn with just a roof, let it get on the rolls as a 'hay shed', and THEN build in walls, concrete floor, and turn it into a shop or 'barndominium'. It's all about avoiding taxes and thousands of dollars for extra water meters, where people don't have the cash flow and credit they did prior to the crash of 08'.

Can you use something like a USDA loan for a barndominium?

[@1ton4god]

I would love to see you guys sit down with a loan officer or loan person over Bank. And go over the depreciation rate of a barndo, and the loan rate on a barndo, and is it what I've been finding up here in Leavenworth Kansas it's like borrowing the money to buy a mobile home or to buy a modular home. It's at a higher rate and the depreciation is just atrocious up here and Leavenworth. I mean I've seen people invest 300,000 to 500,000 in them and the minute they take the keys the city or the county appraises it at like 150 on the 300,000 one that I know. And the one that was a $500,000 investment. Appraised to a branch Bank 5 years later for $285,000. Could you answer some of those questions of what your experience has been maybe even in the next video? I really want to build one of these for 25 plus years. But I'm just scared half to death of taking $250,000 to $450,000 and turning it into $150,000 to $250,000.

I submitted my plans to the County Appraiser Kama and the loan office appraiser and the increased value what's about 35,000. That's me spending $150,000 in building my shop. That was basically like setting over $100,000 on fire and watching it burn up. That's why I was asking about this.

@@AZDESERT2024 yeah that ain't the way it works. Nice thought , but I can buy a house like mine with the same shop on it for a little bit over the appraised value.

However given my limited finances and lack of experience this is a great option that has presented itself to me and as a result my plans have changed. The bank will definitely give me a builder's loan, the value of the property will continue to rise. Two years of payments and then the building loan.

One of the benefits of a Barndominiums or, a barn/shop with living quarters inside it, is to save money on property taxes. Build the barn first and get it appraised and then add your living quarters later.

[@wolfganglava1511]

One of main reason, I guess, my county would ask "did I put septic system and heating in it?" Different tax rates, but still lot cheaper than single house at same square feet.

[@elgringoec]

Well, they do come around looking every couple years for assessment updating purposes. They keep notes and photos on file, and if they happen to discover unpermitted work, the owner may have to answer for it. They aren't authorized to enter buildings without first getting court orders, but they're authorized to walk around outside and peer into windows. And they might come knocking at your door if they have questions.

How is resale on these?

[@HickoryDickory86]

That depends on how many have sold in your area in the last few years. For example: If you live in an area where a handful of them have gone onto the market and sold in the last three years or so, those that have sold will be used as comparables to set a list price for yours if you decide to sell. But if next to no others have been sold in the last 5+ years? You're kind of up the creek unless you either want to sell it yourself (in which case it's recommended that you shell out the big bucks to get a figure from a licensed appraiser) and wait for an adventurous buyer, or find a real estate agent who's willing to list it, using regular homes as comparables to the best of his or her ability. (Side note: All appraisers and real estate agents are going to come to different figures because a few of their comparables will differ. Also, agents don't really have much, if any, training in doing appraisals. It is, more or less, learned on the job.)

[@HickoryDickory86]

@Iloveapplefritters Very true. A lot of loan providers in our area will not finance barndominiums. More a coming aroumd since they're catching on in spite of their reluctance, but still a long way to go.

Could you do a video where you compare similar quality level barndo and conventional framed construction buildings?

What might be interesting, is to compare the Camry's price to the Honda Accord, or a Chevy Impala price. It might also be nice to get your opinion on why would anyone chose to buy one over the other - what are the advantages and disadvantages?

Typically speaking on our builds you trade brick and mortar for efficiency with spray foam exterior walls and 2x6 stud framed exterior walls. Also the zip system for air tightness.

[@stgraves260]

I’ve been lookin at pole barns for a while now. Prob around the past 5 years. On a 2000 square foot home going from 2x4 wood to 2x6 wood was only $2200 difference outside walls only. Inside walls were 2x4s. On a pole barn you can have your studs 4’ or even 8’ apart. If stick build they are 16” centers. Now on your pole barn if your studs are let say 4’ or 8’ apart you still need to run some kinda horizontal stud so you have something to hang your Sheetrock on. So you are only using 3pcs 8’ studs instead of around 15 studs for a 8 foot section of wall. That’s a big difference on that short of a wall. Hence a lot less material and a lot less labor. My grandfather used to build allot of these. Made a great living at it too. I tried to learn as much as I could from him as I was growing up but the good Lord took him from me. He is at peace now. No more pain. Anyway when I built houses in my younger years it took 5 of us to build a 2000 ish sq ft brick home about 3 months after the slab dried. That same house in a pole barn we finished in 2 to 3 weeks. Pole barns go up extremely fast. Holly cow they go up fast. You are looking at 1000s Of less man hours and $10,000s Of less dollars in material.

[@alexfitzgerald6184]

Could I have one built anywhere in the US?

[@TexasBestBarndominium]

I don’t see why not!

[@Commish2009]

Does Texas Best Construction build outside Texas and do you allow owners to finish after structure is built?

[@LVL1Yo-YoGuy]

I feel bad for families buying $240k- 800k homes in the North Texas area.(Sorry can't explain to you why, just so many people cutting corners both in the paper work, and labor part that goes into building new homes) If your home has 'acme' stamp, maybe the one w two pointy G's facing each other on each of the bricks, or pieces of natural stone, don't worry about it you're safe and congratulations on your purchase of quality built home.

Seems like the savings would be in the long term maintenance.

[@elgringoec]

The metal shell replacement might not be too bad; it'll depend on which extremists the voters have chosen to dictate policy, though. If the foam insulation has adhered to the panels, it could get painful to remove them for replacement once they've rusted through in places. In that case there's the additional cost of re-foaming, which could get scary if finished inside walls have to be opened for access.

[@waden404]

Thought u would touch on HVAC. I know, that if insulated well, it helps. But is cooling or heating changed in this type of home?

[@TexasBestBarndominium]

We have updates coming soon in regards to your question. In short it does not change anything as far as requirements between a Barndo vs conventional

[@samwatson8079]

Nice topochico....twist of lime... is that the new idea?

[@TexasBestBarndominium]

Sam Watson love topochico!

[@westtexasconstruction]

Thanks for explaining that to all the dodo birds that think the guys from Texas Barndominums invented them.

[@TexasBestBarndominium]

Lol thanks Eric. In all seriousness it’s not a new concept but there are a lot of fresh ideas now more than previous years. We are here to perfect and to preserve the concept. Anyone who is building barndominiums should be relatively happy about that.

[@westtexasconstruction]

@@TexasBestBarndominium yes sir, we build metal building in the Lubbock area, so far we have only built 1 barndominums but I learn different methods from all different builders, I enjoy watching you and your guys build your masterpieces.

[@ricdenali4213]

Interesting, but the audio could be tweaked.. you have an echo or something making it hard to get everything you say.

[@travtrd]

lol these homes have gotten wild since i grew up in one back in the mid 90s ... my parents bought 200 acres and built quite literally a barndominium 😂 rectangle metal building with big shop doors in the middle of each end, one half side was finished out for living then a breezway in the middle and then the other side was tac room and horse stalls.

[@TexasBestBarndominium]

Thank you for watching! Some of the changes have changed.

[@gmathis4829]

Are you drinking a Topo Chico???😉😉😉

[@TexasBestBarndominium]

Why yes I am. 👍

[@fhuber7507]

People used to convert old barns. Now they "build"a barn for the purpose of converting it."

[@georgeshotrodbarn2113]

Tha Truth

[@HarshRealityNewsletter]

To clarify the statements here, barndominiums are cheaper.. They are not cheaper when you hire a general contractor because if they made it cheaper for you they would lose money. Just sub everything yourself and cut out the guy marking everything up.

[@roderickminor6165]

White boy got a cold ass beard!

[@TexasBestBarndominium]

Lol

[@deemartinez836]

Can you finance a VA loan?

[@TexasBestBarndominium]

We do not finance but we work with several different banks. Thanks for watching

[@timkneiski9919]

Snow load ,won't pass occupancy in mn to do that, they collapse and are not as safe or everyone would be packing renters in them like rats.

[@daviddangle2968]

I can't understand half of what he is saying.

[@baysaintlouis1118]

This is the worst video😂 It answers no questions and basically just raises a lot of questions

[@treich1234]

Are you a Muslim?

[@TexasBestBarndominium]

No
