WATCH THIS -> What You MUST KNOW Before Buying Land and Building A House --> ua-cam.com/video/bzIQv5Sd6ao/v-deo.html
I'm a contractor, but I have a wife. She wanted this home in So-Cal, I took one look at it and said "there is a lot more work and problems with this 2000 year build than you might think, it's going to make you very unhappy." She insisted we buy this pig with lipstick artfully applied to it. $75,000 later we're still not done resolving issues the house has with cheap, shoddy workmanship, low quality infrastructure/mechanical systems, wiring done by people who ALMOST knew how to do wiring but not quite... yeah in any case she has been very unhappy since we moved into this pig and got to see what I already warned her the lipstick was hiding.
Thanks for sharing your story. There is a lot of 'dream home that turns into nightmare' stories. Thanks for watching and commenting. Glad you are enjoying these videos here on this channel.
your wife should have listened to her professional husband instead of her emotions. Now you have allowed it to cost you all 75k because you couldn’t say no to her illogical request.
@@vibez199 I was okay with it because I predicted that the price they were asking for was good even factoring that in. What I was trying to avoid was her misery in dealing with it. I don't mind. I like working on houses, I just turn on music and have a beer. It has grown in value and is doing well even with the market softening recently, it's still a good investment.
What I was trying to do was tell her "you will not be happy" and that part failed. And yes she should listen to me, but "the feels" are more important than anything to many women.
Now that we are almost done renovating it, she is pretty happy though lol.
@@mikeg3439 I'm just plain scared off from becoming a homeowner! Too many out for their self-interest. As for beer, a Shiner Bock sounds good about now.
@@mikeg3439plus you get to say "Told ya so"
I was at Home D and overheard a contractor talking to presumably another contractor about how they are building houses and slapping shit together so fast and that buyers will buy anything at this point at crazy high prices, the other guy said yeah once the drywall is up on the inside and the vinyl siding is up on the outside what you can't see won't hurt you. SMH.
Knowing the builders reputation and track history is important. Thanks for commenting and sharing your story. Glad your enjoying the videos here on this channel.
Look at some other homes they are building...
Definitely get everything in writing. Our builder had two guys, one was the owner of the business and then his partner who actually oversaw and coordinated the contractor to built the house. Well, the owner promised things with us and luckily we would send an email to the owner and his partner after the meeting to make sure of what we talked about and if we had extra questions and clarification. Well, this helped a lot because 6months later we ask them about one thing we were supposed to be getting and the owner say it would cost extra to put that in. Well, we told them he say it was included in the price and he say he never said that. Well, we just had to look up the email where he agree that it was included in the price and he had to put it in without extra cost.
YES. Take tons of photos. The sheet rock subs for my builder covered up THREE electrical outlets with sheet rock during the build. If I had not taken a TON of photos during the walk through of the electrical rough in, those outlets would be behind the walls to this day. Even well-meaning builders and subs make mistakes.
100% absolutely! It’s is one key to a successful build. Thanks for watching and commenting
It wasnt just the sheet rock installers fault. If the person had installed the outlet boxes correctly. Just covering up the boxes, the sheet rock wouldnt sit flat on the studs. You had 2 crews not paying attention what they were doing. I see this all the time. Just slam it together. Heaven hope the nail or screw hits a stud. This goes back decades. My dad was a building contractor for 40+ years. I was coming in right when nail guns were starting to be used. My dad refused to use them. By hand, You could always tell when you missed a floor joist, stud or rafter. Yep, those squeaky floors show up later from using nail guns.
Great video and. I worked as a Builder’s salesperson in our own business. I agree with “Buyer Beware” and “get it in writing”. Just a note to think about : there are people who (1) you can’t make happy, and (2) there’s always those (more than you think) who want something for nothing. There’s two sides to every story. Having experienced it myself, I wouldn’t have anyone build me a home except my husband-too much can go wrong.
So glad you enjoyed this video and thank you so much for taking the time to comment

Great video 👌🏻👍🏻 thank you for educating us 🙏🏽
Truly appreciate you. Glad you are enjoying the videos here on this channel. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Builders will lie. Reputable builders mean they only cheat you "a little" but remember they will cheat you. They're like car salesman. I heard a builder said "to put a price on a build means the builder will try to buy cheap stuff to stay profitable". Not putting a price down in writing means the builder has a blank check to cash in big for a piece of crap. I couldn't believe he said that to my face. Never call him again.
Sorry to hear about your troubles with that builder. This is exactly why I did this video! I want to be sure consumers have all the info, and are aligned with the best option, before the commit. This is what we do and we do it every day. I have seen many go in with blinders because they are so excited. I really want everyone to avoid the pitfalls that are costly. Thanks for commenting and watching. I am glad you are enjoying the videos here on this channel.

Wow, what are the chances of your video popping up on my feed, maybe's an algorithm, because I'm doing new construction in Myrtle Beach Market Commons areas. The thing that concerns me is no one can give me a final date for the completion of construction. That makes me think that all the material is not available or shortage of quality subcontractors. Also with the nice warm temps in Myrtle Beach last two weeks, I saw work being done on other properties or units, by not my unit. Thanks for your video, such a blessing.
Thanks for watching and commenting. Glad you are enjoying the videos here on this channel.
After 4 house builds, over a 20 year period, I concur with all of the points made here. Even the most trustworthy builder can have problems with delivering as promised. Be prepared to be disappointed and if all turns out well consider yourself lucky.
Depending on the home size and details makes a big difference in price. Like buying a vehicle, the more luxury, the more your gonna pay . On the same size home a house could cost double even triple depending on what you pick to install in your home. Everything makes a difference even some of the little things everything cost $ but some prices could be similar. If im building someone a home. Each section has its budgets like fixtures, cabinets, plumbing, and etc..... You just pay what you go over budget. That's why you need to know what home they are expecting to budget and make a proper bid
100% Agree! It can make a huge difference before you even get started. Thanks for watching and commenting. Glad you are enjoying the videos here on this channel.
You nailed it sir! Great video.
So Glad you liked it! :) See you in the next video
Best thing to do is get an owner builder permit from you local gov. Course you have to know your basics on building.But you run the show. You can hire and fire your own subs and learn a lot even if you don't know a lot.No reason to loose a bunch of money.In times like this you need to order your own materials and schedual your own employees.Subs if they are not crooks are better than over in debted builders. Tons of information and vidios on the internet.
Thank you for good info
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and commenting. Glad you are enjoying these super helpful videos here on this channel.
You are correct about communication. I'm getting zero from the builder and my realtor isn't any better

Looking for reasonable builders for the Lowcountry sc
Your welcome. We are here to help. Give us a call 843-839-9870 we can give you some very good builder options.
Even though builders have their own sales contracts they still must comply with State Laws.
Very True! But there is the gray area. Depending upon the builder you end up with, not all are the same. You can get something to pass inspection, but the difference between build quality can greatly differ.
Thanks for this Video
You’re welcome. I’m so glad you enjoyed this helpful video. See you in the next one.
I looked at buying a home in Myrtle Beach in the early 80’s. This was a development close to the State line (Carolina Shores?). But I didn’t because of the way they were building and how the subs worked, especially the electricians. I asked they if they ever did metal conduit and they said they had done a couple in the last 10 years. I asked whether any buildings ever burned down while they were in the building process because of electrical problems and they admitted to losing a few. Thanks….Jim
PS….the problems with builders, what does the local city and inspectors say to these practices?
Choices of building materials and building codes change every year. County codes, city limit codes, state codes and federal codes are ever changing. That doesn't mean that individuals builders exceed codes or are on the gray area of code violations. Thanks for watching and commenting. So glad you are enjoying the videos here on this channel.
As a contractor I can answer about inspectors: most of them don't want to see anything that results in them having to do more paperwork. They arrive hoping to see something they can sign off on, and this colors their approach, what they look at or for.
I've seen inspectors run up to a property, run up a ladder, look at the roof for 2 full seconds, get back down and sign off. Over and over and over, not just a couple times. Same with framing, same with electrical. Not too many bends in that run? Rest is probably fine, signing off.
Here in Marin County, California, a 2006 house:
a. No ventilation in the interior bathrooms
b. Low-grade pressed wood baseboard and doors
c. Stopped making the French drain in the garden until the building inspector turned his back
d. Cheap windows that will need to be replaced at huge expense
e. Extremely low-grade heating unit and ductwork in attic that will need replacing, resulting in some rooms not being heated and cooled, and expense of wasted heat and cooling in the attic and not in the rooms.
f. Incomplete insulation in attic
g. badly graded lot so that the drainage is poor and the patio subsides
h. non-disclosure of water under the house from poor drainage
i. cheap plastic piping
j. low grade garage door motor that fails
k. cheap grade faucets, shower heads, toilets.
Thanks for watching and sharing your story
If you go with lenders of new construction house they will approve asking price. You are forced to go with them. I bought say exact house a year old and appraisal came way south. I was able to negotiate with seller and got house 50k less than new build in exact area. I understand inflation, supply and demand and other factors but geez current mark up is crazy.
Truly appreciate you commenting with your story! See you in the next video
Everything is so interesting . Thank you . oh by the way, you look great in that green shirt, Sir !
Thank you kindly! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment on this video. See you in the next one.
Yes, builders seem like car salesmen. I would like to have my next home built. However, choosing the right builder is a concern. Also, must be prepared to endure the process.
Depending on which town you choose to build in will be just one part of which builder options are the best. Give us a call when you are ready at 843-839-9870 and we can put you in touch with the local experts.
Buy your own lumber 🪵 there’s different quality when it comes to the lumber
@@J.NX10realestateinvestor Watch your expenses and what goes into your build for the best outcome.
If you don't know how to build a house yourself, buy a preexisting home. Then you can see if there are leaks coming from the roof rafters, walls bowing out from studs not being straight, the integrity of the foundation if raised, and sooo many other things to look for. Just a costly heads up! Happy Holidays...
Thanks for watching and sharing. Good point. Existing homes you can perform a professional inspection with a report so you know what you are getting. Glad you are enjoying the videos here on this channel.
Thank you Jerry! You bring great advice to the people. So many buyers get caught in the trap because they LOVE their real estate agent! Worst mistake..
Continue educating my friend!!
@@freemazon1 Thank you! I appreciate you and look forward to bringing more super helpful videos
Is it better to source your own materials. Will it be cheaper or are there certain items you recommend customers buy themselves? Are there certain vendors we should know about?
Depending upon which builder you choose. Custom builders usually give allowance for lighting, cabinets, etc., and you can pick your own. One home I built, I bought and delivered to the build site all the cabinets, flooring, tile, and other supplies. On the other hand big national builders and tract builders make you buy everything through there own design center. Where are you building?
You're spot on.
Thank you so much. Truly appreciate you coming here and I’m glad you enjoyed this helpful video. I’ll see you in the next one.
Really good explanation of the process and the potential pitfalls. I am a broker in the DC area (DC, Maryland, and Virginia), and I have seen or heard about these issues.

Nobody building a house from scratch in the sunny south should be building it with board and OSB on exterior and plastic sidings as featured in your still picture at the outset. Cinder blocks builds is the true way to go.

Supervision over the workers and all sub contractors is vitale
Ask for receipts and actual quotes form the builder, I've caught a builder marking up shower doors as much as 90% on what it took to purchase and install. Cheating on the escalation clause!

I purchased my present hew home during the housing crash in 2007 to 2009 and bought a large home at a very good price.
This would be my fifth brand new home purchase and my very first time purchasing anew home in Washington state.
Being out of a home for more than three years,I qualified for the first time home buyer rebate of $8,000.00 and I use a real estate agent for this home purchase .
During this home purchase ,I pointed out to my real estate agent certain things about the new home that I was having built that I wasn't happy about .
She in turn ,told the builder my concerns and he gave me a $10,000.00 credit towards up grades .
With this $10,000.00 dollar credit ,I use it towards mechanical and electric upgrades instead of cosmetic upgrades .
I pick the standard white kitchen appliances instead of using his upgrade of stainless steel ,because his charge was $4,000.00 compared to $1,000.00 that another new home builder charged for the very same brand of stainless steel kitchen appliances .
I went to home depot and purchased my entire stainless kitchen appliances and got far more better appliances that if I had purchased them from the builder .
I also refuse to purchase a garbage disposal for $450.00 ,that the builder only paid $17.00 dollars for !!!
For $450.00 dollars ,I can go to Lowe's or Home Depot and purchase a top model of garbage disposal along with having it installed .
I was very fortunate that this was a small new home builder that was just starting out and many of the upgrades of other new home builders ,were standard in his new homes.
I would have had to spend $17,000.00 from other new home builders ,to bring them to the level of his new homes and thus I only had to spend $5,400 ,00 towards upgrades..
Thanks for watching and commenting
Hi, bought 6 mos ago moved in with a new build called Signature homes, we are in a district here in Northern California with 2 other builders, they seem to be better builder than KB homes, we had to keep upgrades so by time we are done was a bit over 800 000..had to buy our in washer dryer and fridge ..the appliances seem cheaply made..we have a 1 year warranty..there are some issues..minor but we are hiring home inspector in a few months to see if there are any major issues..homeowners have moved in in different phases,, there are 6 houses left to finish..on or block...they were behind 1 to 2 mos. On some houses..ours took about 6 mos. To build....can you te me if this builder is overall good here in northern California sonoma County
I can not comment on that builder since it is outside our area, but you always want to choose the local real estate expert who has the inside track on past performance, wand which is average, and those that are above average! Thanks for watching and commenting
It's so great to have an earnest professional sounding out possible pitfalls and traps in the building trade. However, not many people will be able to hear your message.
I have a lucrative idea for you. Why not set up a professional firm to give advise on selecting honest and fair builders for clients? Charge a fee for consultation, legal clearance, permits application and submission, zoom progress monitoring and reports, building materials verification, final inspection and certification.
Employ qualified and security-cleared people at every division. Work with known honest builders in each area. Do not charge them for participation as it will be a conflict of interest. Use construction completion insurance .
Then set up your branches all over the state, and globally.
Set up website.
Thank you for your idea. Thanks for watching and commenting. So glad you are enjoying the videos here on this channel.

Builders have to follow state rules plus they give incentives when using them private mortgage companies are suffering due to this because if you use a private mortgage firm you better have money to pay closing costs full so both parties have downfalls so I wouldn't bash the Builders
Good point. The other thing is the inflated closing costs that some of those Free Incentives" actually cost unsuspecting buyers. Its best to know the apples to apples before walking into a builder. My team has saved more than a few unsuspecting buyers thousand of dollars in costs. Thanks for watching and commenting. So glad you are enjoying the videos here on this channel.
6:45 the only article that I can find about this issue seems fake. The home owner does not look the door when she heads out. Besides: work shouldn't start before the leader and client have met
Thanks for watching and commenting
Regarding deposits, it goes straight into their bank account, not to the escrow company
Deveiuel is in the details. Echj contract is diffren. that is why choosing the right company and the right builder is so important. Thanks for watching and commenting
An old home is built much better , the lumber alone, change all the mechanics slap a roof on it and you have a great built with pride home.
We had to sue the builder of my home. It wasn't up to code. Falling apart and leaks in the bedroom
I built a house in Massachusetts 2800 square-foot house brand new on a cul-de-sac and I didn’t have a lot of problems with the builder but I did have my fair share I’m in construction I do big construction multibillion dollar projects and most of our work is subcontracted to Chevron into shell and I’ve done nuclear work so I’m used to working to very high standards and everything must be Quality. I told the builder before he started. Make sure everything is plum level straight and square. I am a construction inspector, do yourself a favor and do it right the first time.
And they learn the hard way that I meant what I said. I had them tear studded framed walls down because they weren’t plum and square. Then I got time to paint the house. I could not believe what I saw it looked like he gave two high school kids each a 4 inch wide brush, and that’s what they were supposed to paint the whole house with a head paint everywhere all over the door hinges the windows everywhere they had been AA I went ballistic on this guy. What in the fuck is this what he got high school kids here with a 4 inch brush that ended us up with us squared off in front of the house and I beat his ass which cost me a night in jail and then the charges were dropped, but I told him right from day one do the job, right? Before he ever started that morning, I told him get these painters off the job cleaning up all this bullshit to my satisfaction before you put another drop of paint inside or outside this house, and he told me that I could not tell him which subcontractors he could use OK that’s a fact, but what these other guys that is not going to stay there and no one else is gonna do that and that led to him getting thumped
Unfortunately... builders will ONLY use their own contract. If they used a SC uniform contract , buyers would have more protection
In a hot market, many business folk know they can get away with the bare minimum of courtesy, accomodations, and respect for the customer.
I was nervous before, now I'm downright paranoid. This buyers agent, is that the realtor that helped with the initial deal?
You were working with someone from our team?
@@JerryPinkas no. Was just watching. Trying to learn. At least I don't believe I was
It probably wouldn't hurt to take two years minimum to learn about and prepare for buying an existing home or having one built. I think most of those contracts are lengthier than the US Constitution itself.

Signed a detailed contract with the builder. Paid a lawyer $1000 to do the contract. As problems arise the builder kept adding on costs. The lawyer advised if you fight, go to court and delay the build. Or, pay him. It cost $25000 beyond the agreement.

I hear ya! Commodities like windows in construction are now like the toilet paper of grocery stores shelves, lol. Thank you for watching and commenting. Glad you are enjoying these videos here on this channel.
Would a recording also be submissible, then the builder, only talks on the phone or cell?
Sounds like a legal issue to me outside my room of expertise, but I would certainly ask an attorney what is submissible. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment. See you in the next video.
I’ve said it before, put it in your contract if you’re getting a new build home ‘,’ Full board and full expenses at the Waldorf Astoria ( or equivalent ) in the event of having to repair, renovate or remediate any workmanship involving this property, including subsidence, ground settling, sinking, termites or any other wood eating insect, Or something to that effect😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉😂😂😂😂
Who's gonna book you into the Waldorf or Ritz, all expenses paid? I'd like to meet that builder!

@@JerryPinkas currently living in the southern Prince George's county area but looking in those areas. What are your business hours. I've talked to builder and it was literally less expensive to build the exact same house in Charles county than Prince George's county

Some of the new home builders like to cut corners; and use number two plywood; dry wall that’s made in China; and a lower quality of sheet rock!
Thanks for watching and sharing your story
IWhen I'm ready to build if I understand your video, you could be my Buyer's broker and help me find the right builder and avoid the pitfalls?

Only thing being built in my area is townhomes. Ugly ones.
We still have a huge number of people who want to buy, but very low inventory to choose from. The population keeps growing, living longer, 2nd homes, and investors are all driving the demand. I wish you success. I would recommend keeping looking, don't wait for the perfect time, but when you find one that meets your needs and is in your price range. Thank you for watching and commenting. Glad you are enjoying these videos here on this channel.
@@JerryPinkas thanks but I’m already a home owner 😄
@@grayjusa So glad you have locked in as a home owner! Thanks for letting me know. See you in the next video!
I am looking for a trustworthy General Contractor to help finish my basement. I will be calling you soon.
Give us a call 843-839-9870. Talk soon.
watch the show holmes on homes. you will never buy a home again. at least buy one that has been built for a few years and you can have it inspected before hand.
You really didn’t talk about which upgrades are important, and why would you purchase them, thanks.
That’s correct I didn’t talk about upgrades in this particular video but there is a future video coming that will be talking about that. Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment.

sorry Jerry, I could only take the hand waving for a few min.....
No problem Your negative comments only help to make me better. I'm not a professional film maker, just trying to be helpful. Thanks for commenting and watching. I'm glad you are enjoying the videos here on this channel.
@@JerryPinkas Didn't mean for it to be a "negative comment".....way too many people get into that, not realizing how disconcerting it becomes when in a video. Retired teacher. I have however built 5 homes as "owner-builder" but don't want professional status. glad to hear what you said.
@@DGill48 Thanks for your comments., I truly appreciate them. I have been investing for 36 years but, I'm not a filmmaker and I do "talk with my hands", but...I'm learning plan to get better videos. Glad you are enjoying them. Love your story of building 5 homes as an "owner-builder". Glad you are enjoying these videos here on this channel.
Have you ever built rental property?
Excellent question! I almost built a row of townhouses… But I found a better deal with existing construction and end up investing it in that. Always run your numbers and make sure your costs are 100% in line for return on investment. Location is highly important.
@@JerryPinkas I guess I should have added that I have some land that I am trying to decide what to do with it. I thought an option might be to put a rental on it. But I don't know where or how to start. I would need a builder at some point. It is inherited property.
@@cbbcbb6803 Depending on what state you are in, what town, etc, check with your local builder and see what the construction costs would be, and always add a little more. Then run the numbers on what local rents are. Wishing you Good Luck with your project.
Buying a new home build is no different than buying a new car. You pay a premium for that "new car smell."
Thanks for watching. Glad you enjoyed this helpful video
nice shirt
Thank you. . Glad you enjoyed this helpful video
im betting the builders are using cheap products,because of inflation
I think if a builder is using cheap materials now they were using them prior to the inflation spike.
There are all levels of builds. Knowing which builders use better quality and which ones cut corners everywhere they can, is the difference between a good value and a terrible mistake. That's where the local expert who helps many everyday can help you avoid the pitfalls that are costly. So glad you are enjoying the videos here on this channel. Thanks for watching and commenting!
