Why do people keep saying homes are expensive? You can buy two-bedroom DIY modular home kits for less than $100,000.

Yeah, that's expensive, The materials used in the construction of a house are generally only about a third of the cost, another third is labor.
100 grand for that kind of a shitbox that will fall apart in 5 years is a horrible price. if you did the labor yourself you could do a proper cmu home for the same price. youre also not getting a fukkin loan for that shit because nobody would insure it. if you had the cash you can do far better.
Modular homes are fine. You're thinking about mobile homes.
My trailer is from the 70s, beat to shit but still standin.
nope...mod homes are trash, not even up to par with current year twisted/knotted dimensional lumber constructed by beaners with a methed out foreman who pulls the rebar out of the foundation when the inspector leaves
Not true at all. They are allowed even in nanny states because they comply with with strict building regulations
You still need land and water and sewer and electricty
>You still need land and water and sewer and electricty
And if you will be in a school district or whatever they will hit you with a huge fee to cover your share of the infrastructure, which makes sense considering that the other residents have paid for it over the years and now you get to use it. This could apply to city water, sewer, schools, roads, you name it.
You can buy a 50x20 storage building, insulate wire and plumb it and you'll be like 18k all in
because there's a lot more costs to add besides just the house itself
You also need:
>land
>electrical connection (or big ass solar system)
>water (well drilled if rural)
>sewage (septic system if rural)
>excavation
>concrete foundation
>labor to assemble the thing
>permits/inspections/fees/etc (depends on locale)
>$100,000.
First, this is expensive - ain't nobody got a spare 100k lying around.
2 - this is for bare walls, floor and roof. As others have pointed out you still need land, foundations, electrical, plumbing, and so on.
They are not expensive at all, people are just whining as usual. We just closed on our homestead and it was less than 7 figures. 9 acres with a pond and well, full mineral rights etc. Once the materials come in we will start building our dream home for less than 300k and her parents are only covering half of that so I really don't get how you guys aren't able to buy a home.
Excellent b8 sir, if you had left out the part about her parents you would have had me.
Honestly sewer hookup alone can run 20 to 80k

>sewer
What's wrong with a hole in the ground outside? Holy frick entitled millennials and zoomers just want everything handed to them on a silver platter.
Unfortunately our europoorean overlords demand we give our shits to the local government
Not if you're on septic and well water.
You sound helpless. Why are you here? To convince others to be helpless? A man who can't drive a shallow well or dig a septic is a little b***h. Deep wells take much more gear but the solution is don't live there.
cost range on septic and well? Possible to diy septic?
>cost range on septic and well?
From ~$3K up to $100K+. It completely depends on local variables.
Some areas have hundreds and hundreds of feet of hard stone before you hit water for the well, other areas it's 20 feet down through sand.
Some areas require extremely expensive engineered and mechanized septic solutions, other places you can just do cheap plastic infiltrators and a plastic tank. It depends on both local policies and site conditions.
> Possible to diy septic?
Yeah, it's physically possible, but in some areas you can't DIY if you need it permitted.
Because I live in CA and no one is allowed to build houses here, unless you are a real estate developer putting up cuckbox apartment complexes.
Then you want everything CA requires or you'd man up and move. Being a rich techy like all Californians why are you even on PrepHole?
ok so where you gonna put it you moron?
what states have the least regulations for people who want to diy build
In general, the poorer and less developed the state is, the more relaxed they're going to be. It also varies strongly by what area or county you're in, as most building codes etc are regulated on a local level.
A more pertinent question might be: what states are the most relaxed while still offering the other things that are important to you? Living in rural alaska or the middle of the desert just so you can live in a Ted Shed might suck
>op buys a pile of lumber and keeps it in the back of his truck that he sleeps in and posts on PrepHole.
anon 4 years ago they were 20,000$.
bro just drop 100k on materials, another 80k on labor and 60k on a plot of land bro it's literally just that easy
Noone knows where trees come from and we havent seen wild rectangle stones in years
