Eeek!!!

It's getting close! We're almost done building or dream home in Nashville, TN.

Since this is our second home build we've learned a thing or two (or three, or four, or MORE...... lol) and wanted to pass those tips onto you.

*Tips on saving money building your dream home!*

1. Don't get kicked out of your rental house
2. Don't buy things.
3. Look at things.

I love how the last tip to 'save money' is to put it all on credit... where you will spend more money in the long run paying interest...

Painted brick isn't a good move, just trending and requires alot of maintenance over time. If you want that look go with a white sand faced brick or better yet, a white through-the-body brick.

Great video! I've been in the real estate investing and remodeling business for 15 years, and you're so right about being realistic about deadlines. The bigger your project, the more variables have to happen correctly to be "on time." A little patience and flexibility can certainly reduce a lot of stress. But I also like to have that deadline to hold the contractor's feet to the fire!

Sounds like your #1 complaint in this video could have easily been resolved by asking for a detailed build schedule and keeping the PM accountable to that schedule. It also sounds like you had a bunch of change orders.

We have just been given notice that my husband will be offered a by out. He will need to get a new job.
We have been remodeling our home for about four years and it's starting to come to compleation. The kitchen is Beautiful. We have to move.I have worked so hard and it will be for someone else. I'm very devestated.
I was stopped at your words 2nd dream home.
We are hoping relocate in the south and would like it to be Tennesee.

Great tips! Especially love the idea of "see it before you believe it" - never thought to actually just find the houses that have what I want and see it ahead of time.

Of course, I'm nowhere at the point where I can build my dream house, but something for the future 😄

As a builder I can agree that building houses has a lot of contribution factors that can cause a house to be finished late.

I'm years away from this... but would love to (someday) build a dream home! Open floor plan concept, big garage (with a gym!) and beautiful BRIGHT naturally lit rooms (gotta have it for YouTube videos 😉 )

This video made me feel like, If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor.

Build your own dream home.
1 . Do it yourself will save tons of money

[bradwatson]

I 'm peering ten years into the future and see your dream home after this one being much much smaller.

[stephenrischall]

I like the non-negotiable list! It is a great idea especially when it comes down to something like building a dream home. I'll definitely have my own list when the time comes for a new home. Great video!

[momma]

Why. Not get white brick. Not paint tho

[Arational]

Never ever paint your bricks.
You are creating a disaster down the road.

I tried but I totally didn't hear the advice.
