Current Events > Figured out a loop hole to get a cheap house in USA market

(+) Yeah! (+)

Just buying my land and building a massive mansion size home.

I saw some other people do it and talked to them and looked into it.

The same house would cost me about $450,000 to buy is only costing me $90,000 to build. (10 bedrooms, 2 stories, I am doing most the work my self and have family help). I use to build mansions for about 8 years of my life when I was younger.

As long as you know enough to pass the inspections then you're good.

How long will it take you to finish?

I am estimating about 5-6 months. But going to get framing and custim roof done in under a month.

Basically anything me and family are not doing will take the longest. I have experience in field and am estimating delays from them being slow assholes. But I plan to always be out there when anyone is there.

As a builder, this topic makes me laugh.

Are you retired or something?

I mean yes. If you build it yourself, you're going to spend less $$$$. It's time that you're spending. I doubt the honesty of this topic though

How much is the land anyway?

My step Dad has all the required licenses for building and carpentry, and my real Dad the required license for the entire project. Even if both are helping minimally. It helps me scate across a lot of government annoyances and cost. By having them claim to be doing it and involved and filing proper paperwork.

I got land for $35,000 ^_^ it is a huge piece (about 30 acres) and very far from flood zones in Texas. I talked owner down because he never did anything with it in like 60 years and is my friend.

I wanted less but he gave me it all lol.

But you can do the type of manual labor needed to build your own home...?

I worked for a GC throughout college. This would be hell to do without contracting parts of it out.

My uncle said he's doing that in Delaware for about $100,000

Wish I knew that part.

Was about to pick up a house on a $80,000 loan at around $800 a month.

But it failed the inspection and I lost $546.

I was also pissed that they didn't charge me with a even number.

I mean $4 wouldn't of had me anymore pissed off than I already was.

This topic smells so damn bad....

30 acres in West Texas costs $200k and thats the cheapest to buy land. Try again.

I figured out a loophole on how to play videogames at a cheap price. I'm going to code my own videogames.

I have 60 acres and yeah...I'm not buying it.However I have seen deals between friends that has gone a long ways but still.

To TC I plan on doing the same at some point when I can afford it.Im thinking 2-3 B.R. and 2 B. Nothing too serious but I want a nice big garage to work on vehicles to flip or keep.

Edit: The "affordable" land here in NE TX that hasn't been bought up is absolute trash,that would cost a lot to clear and level.

I figured out a loop hole to get a cheap car in the USA market. Just order all the parts and build it yourself.

Eh, I could see some wasteland in the Permian Basin pockmarked with oil wells and miles from civilization going for that much.

It is pretty much this, half of it is marsh land and he doesn't want to deal with it. Plus he hates his actual family and really needed the money.
