Hi Ashley, love your video. I’m about to buy a house. After looking at several houses I know that I will definitely have to do some upgrades to get exactly what I want. Listening to your video has given me somewhat of an idea of what some of these renovations will cost. I’m going to look through some of your previous videos so that I don’t ask any questions that you may previously addressed. Thank you so much for sharing the information.

Nice video and good tips! I agree, if you're building, it's best to do the upgraded light fixtures in the two-story foyer or cathedral ceiling or any room with very high ceilings. For instance, my wife and I paid 500.00 to replace the light fixture in our two-story foyer after we purchased our home a few years ago. The costs did not include the light fixture, which was of equal value, so we were out about 1k.

My builder only allowed one 3.5 hour visit! I felt rushed. Same thing, I cannot make changes without a hefty fee. I think I spent way more than I needed to.

@marysuccess2690 Жыл бұрын

Wow... that beautiful front door for an additional $450 ?. My builder must be tripping because he wanted $3100 for the exact same door, yes you read me correctly. A lot of my builder's upgrades are ridiculously expensive, but thank God we were given some allowance to spend at the design center. Your house is beautiful.

Hi Jeffrey, I don’t know the specifics of the square footage of all our rooms but I’ll look back a paperwork and let you know. Our master bedroom is super large, way larger than normal we have a king and still have plenty of room for an entire living area space. I’ll get the name of the floors foe you, but I’m pretty sure I said the name in my upgrades video. Thanks so much for supporting my Channel

So I am glad you covered this, my builder has a $6K upgrade cap, which means anything over this amount is payable 15days after I make my initial selection. Girl this is really a challenge because there were certain choices I refused to sacrifice. I didn't go with can lights for my master bedroom. Great video. New Subbie here😊😊

I have almost the same choices you made and we’re looking at 140k…. Have you had appraisal issues ( appraisal value is lower than purchase price )? Did you have to put in more cash to fill the gap for tge appraisal?
