Have you taken the caravan pill yet?
10x cheaper than traditional housing+comfy

I have taken the self-built pill. I am flipping a warehouse into a house. A big chunk of the housing bubble comes from contractors earning way too much money. They basically earn more than the average west coast tech worker. This is possible only because the middle class got too big and no one knows how to use a damn drill anymore, so demand for contractors, builders, and plumbers is too damn high. The only person I paid is an electrician because I don't want to risk it. The rest I am doing myself.

would probably cost less than the associated cost of building a real house (yuropoor)

How do i learn how to do that myself? I didn't grow up building things or working with my hands.

I literally use youtube. I have the advantage of coming from a blue collar family, so I know how to drill, saw, even a bit welding. Maybe you should work part time for a carpenter for free as an apprentice just to get your hands used to handling machinery.
I drilled holes for windows, used drywall to make rooms and to make the entrance door smaller, did my own plumbing. I got lucky by inheriting a brick and mortar warehouse with concrete pillars. It was already inhabitable before I started working but it was just one big box with no rooms or windows.
I could probably do this on an empty lot as well, but I would need to hire a professional to dig and fill concrete pillars first. Everything else I can make from drywall and wood.

It’s my goal (within two years) and I found a model I like with deck, just need the right place to fit it. Also I’d like a 1.5 spot closed garage/shed to go with it but I haven’t found that yet.

Internet. I’m not a mechanic but I manage to do a full renovation of my motorcycle. The real hurdle isn’t knowledge, it’s access to tools (and time consumption)

i'm honestly thinking about coping and buying a 1 acre plot of land and a double wide trailer in cash. i absolutely refuse to pay $300k @ 6% for a 1200 square foot boomer shack on 0.125 acres in a 25% nigger town with $4k/year property taxes. my parents own 10 acres, maybe i can buy 1 acre from them.

this is basically a trailer

zoning laws in many places prohibit this, you have to build a house on that land its the law

>> No.50587310

>>50587284
i don't understand what you're trying to say. it's definitely legal. my parents bought 10 acres and put a double wide on it. in fact, it's fairly common for people to buy an unimproved plot of land, put electrical service and well/septic, and pay for a modular home.

My biggest problem is code. I can build something that will last forever, but these bureaucrats wont let me do it without measuring every damn board. Its not even worth dealing with.

If you are an early staker on maxx dot finance you won't have to live in a van or a trailer home. Didn't you see what happend to the OG HEX investors? MAXX is an upgraded HEX contract with fixed yield and actual revenue instead of pure inflationary staking rewards.
