I'm sick of throwing away 500 dollars a month on an apartment
    #7459531 - 09/27/07 09:43 AM (16 years, 4 months ago)

So I'm looking at property. I found a quite a few lots for >10,000 dollars, what's to keep me from buying one and parking my travel trailer on it? Or even better yet, using my man-skills to build a house myself?

Would the bank laugh at me being 20 years old and the only credit I have being >1500 dollars in debt to various places?

Lets discuss.

I figured I couldn't just up and start building on my own property, sounded too good to be true.

I'd have no problem with parking a trailer on it though right?

What kinda hoops do you have to jump through to build your own house?

i dont know exactly whta its like in america. i'd imagine you still gotta pay land taxes, power, then you gotta pay to be usin the power on top of the power, dunno

ask the ocuncil about it, but im sure it would be cheaper than living in a house

but then you'd be trailer trash har har har

you still gotta pay property taxes, utilities, etc. etc. that come with owning a piece of land, but if you just bought that property, you could probably just live in your trailer.
There are a few communities that are jack asses and have regulations as to how thier road or cul de sac or community should look, and they might say no to the trailer. I guess just ask the real estate person, or to the nieghbors to see whatsup. Then again, if you dont have any neighbors, better yet- noone will give a shit!

Don't you have to pay some extra fee for parking your trailer there too?

Maybe you should just save up and buy some little tiny square of land in the 10 million dollar house section. Park your trailer on that and watch property value decrease, save up by taking trash cars, parking them on your lawn and selling parts of them, then when you've got enough money, and property values have decreased enough, buy up all the houses on the block, ditch the trailer in a lake and mow your lawn, while watching property values increase again, sell of all but one, reap the rewards and settle down. Or start over again with more money.

You need a building permit, and to get one you'll probably need a grading plan from an engineer before the city will approve it. You'll also want a building location survey to cover your ass (a few hundred bones.)

If the lot is not serviced (with water and sewer), you'll need about 10 grand in addition to have that done before you are allowed to build. You'll also need to hire electrical and mechanical crews, not to mention roofers, landscapers, pavers, etc... I don't know who you are but you can't really build a house by yourself.

If there is no existing sewer or water main down the street yet, then forget it.

You're only 20, rent for a few years.

I'd be happy paying $500/month. Right now I pay almost 3 times that ($1400).

I live in one of the lowest-rent cities in Canada and I pay $602/mo for a modest 1 bedroom in a good neighborhood. I'd kill to pay $500 for the same thing.

I've seen people pay 350$ for a 2 bedroom in Moncton NB. Maybe they were just lucky though.

I'd much rather be investing that money into myself, rather than just throwing at an apartment complex so the owner can be a millionaire.

I'm sure I could build a house on my own, I've roofed a quite a few houses, remodeled the ex's parents house completely with her father, I can run the electricity, plumbing I'd pay someone. I've done drywall, insulation, layed carpet and tile. I mean I build r/c airplanes from scratch as a hobby, I'm pretty nifty when it comes to doing shit myself.

I just want a little cabin out in the woods, nothing over 1000 square feet, I don't even want it on a foundation. Is it possible to get your plans approved by the building inspector to build yourself? Or do you absolutely have to hire a contractor?

yeah, rent is such a huge ripoff it really pisses me off sometimes.

you could be building equity with that payment instead of just giving it away to someone...

My point exactly. I fucking can't stand that there's no way to get around giving half of my income to someone for a place to live.
