@@NicoleNark Yes, some Home Inspectors have a service where they will monitor your home build every step of the way to ensure they are doing it correctly! Nowadays, I think it is crucial to hire them, because of the shortage of skilled labor. Additionally, my Sales Assistant friend for a major home builder told me lots of mistakes are being made in their community, and job satisfaction is low for everyone because of customer complaints!

What will be the cost of a similar square footage new house in your area? 2) I always wanted to know if building a house yourself using subcontractors is cheaper than buying a new one from a builders (I could take some of the work myself on the weekends. I already took a framing class at a community college where we build a small shed) ? Would appreciate your response.

I’m building my house in Southern California with a friend currently. Literally building it ourselves from ground up. And it’s still costing me 400k for a 1200 sq ft house. How is this house 200k? Just seems impossible. There are a lot more costs such as permits, hooking up electrical to city, city water hook ups, septic if needed, solar panels, and just the general cost of materials seem really low in this build. Maybe materials are a lot cheaper in Arkansas. This guy is a builder which helps tremendously to keep costs down but 200k for a ground up build is crazy low. Kudos to you guys for figuring it out!

With coastal towns about to become beaches, people will begin moving inland...Arkansas is about as inland as you can get... You'll retire early and you'll rule the roost in Arkansas (you're young enough to do it ) Again, good luck.

Great job! I am thinking about being the general contractor. I have remodeled many times and built my home from the ground up. Just didnt do all the concrete work. I want to move to Mountain Home and sold my house, with 300k after the mortgage paid off, and in the bank to use. Instead of buying a house outright, is all that I would save by being the general contractor is 30 percent? I am about to turn 67 and don't want to use up my time building it myself. Your 200k house would be 260k if you bought it instead of contracting it? Just trying to figure out the best way to go. Steve
@NicoleNark9 ай бұрын
Thanks for watching! On this house specifically, we did end up saving more than 30%. This was largely due to the fact that Kachi did a lot of labor himself. I'd say if you are wanting to plan for costs try to find new construction listed for sale in your area to see what the market rate seems to be!

When building for the first time, learn the construction lingo and the permit requirements for the particular State. Have your financing approvals ahead of time. Get a good project manager, if necessary. Find a reliable and trustable builder who uses licensed and certified contractors. Don't overbuild for the area. You can also build in another state, you don't have to live in same state; just have reliable staff and visit the site periodically. When you finish your project, it is absolute joy to either live in it or rent or sell. Then on to the next one.
