Have the shop now. Son, you need to move south! Just bought 3.68 acres for $22,500. It is costing nothing like yours to prep, septic, well and power is $13900.

Definitely go with the shop/garage. Important that buyers could roll the cost into the mortgage. And make sure it has electric. Someone who is handy/works on their own cars will need the electricity for tools, lighting, etc.

I personally would like the shop included because I'm a bit of a procrastinator and it would be a huge weight off my shoulders to have it done and move in ready. Also, building it into the mortgage would be nice.

I'm clueless but so curious, because this is what I want to do for myself in the near future! You really help me understand the process and also cost thank you so much!

These videos are answering so many questions and are getting me a proper to do list thank you for your wonderful videos. Your are helping so many people get there dream homes. You are god sent. 🙏🏻✨

I would like to have the garage/shop already set up with the home. Excited for these videos!

Personally, I would go with the garage/workshop building. If there is pretty much only one place that it would fit logically on the land, I would recommend as a second choice, Stubing in all the underground feeds. These would include electrical, domestic water, sewer/septic line. It’s a lot easier to add these lines now than it is to tear up finished property once the landscaping and everything else is in. I used to be an electrical contractor so this would be my recommendation!

I would say go with the garage/storage/shop now. That way it would be incorporated into the loan now. Prices may go up and will be hard to pay for it then. When I had a modular put on raw land I didn't even think of a garage but later I wanted one and it became a separate expense. It all worked out as friends & family helped build it so wasn't as expensive! Looking forward to more videos as now my daughter and I want to put a modular on her property. Your videos will help us to understand the real costs nowadays. Thank you! 🙂

Ok, I was confused at first as to what you meant by a "shop." I call that a garage. And from my pov for what it's worth, go with the shop/garage. I live in a home now that does not have one and I wish I did. I live in a cold climate area that can have some harsh winters and I would definitely like to have one. It would be easier to incorporate the cost into the mortgage and some day (building one in the future) might never happen. Go with the shop.

I would add the shop/garage, I would want it part of my mortgage.

I would add the garage / shop. With the cost amortized, it is more palatable for more buyers.

I would prefer to have the shop/garage at the sale. But I'm not sure how much you will price the home, but most folks willing to afford the house may want one. We bought a house without one and we totally regretted it now because it's so expensive to build one today.

progress.... looks good! now, this is going to be your residence, or a project to sell? I can't remember... 4K for electric, what about phone lines, they should be included too! cable service if available, too! Utilities are pain to deal with.... so expensive!

Would definitely look for a finished shop/shed included. Huge perk.

I’m actually on the fence with a manufactured home because I need a garage. I live in Florida and I’ve never seen a manufactured home with a garage option, even if placing on my own land. Guess the only alternative is for a detached garage, but yes I would definitely include that with the home purchase.

I would definitely want the garage/shop. We don't have one now and I definitely miss it.

Low mortgage rates suggest building the shop now. Otherwise in my opinion, it becomes a decision to live without the shop as there may be no future money to chase rapidly increasing costs of adding the shop later.

I was waiting to see if you wore white shoes again. Lol I’m glad I bought my house with a storage shed and wish I had at least a car port. So I’d vote for it to have the shop/ garage. Now I don’t want the headache of having one built but probably will once lumber goes back down.

Love your videos. I am in real estate. I am looking at possibility develop one of my land as prefab option here in Quebec. It would be a project with about 35 houses. As for your shop idea, why dont you go half way. What I mean is prepare the concrete base for the shop but dont built it. When you put the property up for sale, put a seperate price if anyone need you to built the shop. Or they can choose to built it later on. What I find is most normal home buyer is not knowelegable or connected like you with different trades. Most of the time foundations and base cement what scares most people. If the base was prepared, just the would structure built can be managed by most people. Also prepararion of base which mess up the property due to heavy machinery some times required. If you take care of the base now with the same contractors who will be doing your base, might be cheaper.

I'd go with the shop built now it would be a higher price point but with it is going to make sale faster and more prospective buyers. However what kind a price difference are you looking at. I have known of a couple sale situations on site build homes that prospective buyers wanted the property but not without a garage. One of the properties finally sold but the buyers put a condition on the purchase for the seller to build a garage but the buyer offered more to off set the price of the garage.

$4k to connect to the power company is a rip off unless you are going solar and only using the grid for net metering if that's an option, if the system over produces, and if you can sell the excess power for the same price as you would buy it back for then it's a one and done expense. Of course, going solar is an extra $20k (at least in my case) but like I said it's a one time expense rather that paying the power company to connect to them and paying for electricity. The power company where I live didn't charge me anything to connect, the only thing I had to pay for was the power pole at a cost of $1100 and the pole is mine not the utility company's. The only issue I had was that the power company took forever to actually run the lines to my pole which was only about 30 feet. So that is another reason I am going solar even though I will still be using the grid for net metering because that is an option, my system will over produce and I'll be buying back the power at the same price that I'd be selling it for. That isn't the case in some other states though but in my area it is.

If my memory serves me correctly, the area where the home will be located is subject to significant snow accumulation during the winter. If I were looking for a home I would expect a two car shop. If housing costs are as outrageous as you say, the people moving to that area should be able to afford the addition of the shop. I say this with admission that I know nothing about what I speak. Thanks for the update.when you figured costs for this project, did you consider the cost of dismantling the office, moving it, and setting it up again?

My initial thought is that the area looks flood prone with the house foundation "appearing" to be below street level and deep ditches to carry off rain water. I hope you researched the drainage in that area.

Yes... add it... Because you will, eventually need it for storage! Etc.! 99.9% of the time... and if you wait bc it will be less expensive in the future... most likely, you will put it off indefinitely... but it all depends on how far your budget will stretch, of cause!

Add the garage and roll it into the mortgage. In Canada you need a place to get your vehicles out of the weather and also underground power can be run at the same time.

Depending on cost, I'd build the shop. Otherwise, to keep cost down, pour the pad, stub electrical, and do a simple carport. Then the future owner can do the enclosed shop, if they want.

For me it's better to do things as money allows. I stay clean out of debt and only spend money that I have. If I don't have the funds readily available to do something, I save up and do it later on when I have the funds.

Definitely do the shop!

Add the shop !

Can you offer the shop as an add-on option? You know price A with price B without. Can they wrap the shop up into the mortgage? Perhaps they might prefer building it later and paying cash or a short term loan. If it was me...I would take the shop now. Move in condition with nothing left to do is my preference.

Wow!! How exciting to see the progress! We have been trying to buy our friends one acre land forever here in Sacramento Ca, but she can't seem to sell it due to the expense on her part to parcel it out from her own land. She was told by a developer that it would cost $80,000 to for her to get it surveyed and of course we would pay for the septic, electric, etc. We found the perfect manufactured home at a dealship, fell in love with it but we can't add the price of the land to put it all in a big bundle loan because like I said she can't sell it to us, we are STUCK! sorry for so much info, I had been wanting to comment on your videos but didn't want to ramble :)

Finished package, yes!!!!

You need to research the town/city/county codes, don't get worked up to put a manufactured home up before knowing if it is even permissible,there is discrimination against manufactured homes.

it would be better if you had the extra garage already there,,because if prices are rising then it would cost way more latter on ,and it would look much better to

Yes on the shop

It is never going to cost less to add a shop in the future than adding it now.

We are lucky.......have 80 acres, and the pole is already there hooked up to a different house that is abandoned. We are going to take that and hook up the new house which will be just across the yard. Literally less than 100 feet away.

Exorbitant Storage Prices make the Garage/Shop very attractive to starters and downsizers

In this Market, Not Likely. Great Quote ⭐️ great Episode

Good to see you our building equity. 1. The modular home would have been a much better investment and increased in value; mobile / manufrhd homes decrease in value! 1. So Where are the costs? Why not write it on paper then video the piece of paper to help people out. Forgot to add #1 cost YOUR TIME. 2. Just rent a Dozer, trencher, and DIY.

What state is your property in? how much is your mobile home? how much is the land? how much is the property tax? how much is the total package? how is the weather?...that is a lot of questions....I hope you don't mind me asking...I am a newbie at this....Thank you in advance.☺

Build garage. Weather in BC must be somewhat severe in Winter. It doesn't look like an expensive market.

I say add the garage, for the total package.

What is the ROI on your money if included? Down here that is an additional $25,000 more or less. As a real estate appraiser, I can tell you it depends if sales indicate there is that much additional value added. As a real estate investor, if I can't make a return on my money, it's a no go. Caveat, all markets are different and fluid.

garage is important to buyers now more than ever, the extra space and also a way to secure your card of storms, as a personal fact i am looking for homes with garage (2 cars) even if i only hve one eventually my wife and i will have 2

Maybe for the shop you could build a small apartment or tiny house above the shop so they could rent it out or have a guest place

Huge transformation already! Re: a shop - Is that a typical need? Or is it more for a garage? Would a carport be an option?

By shop do you mean garage for we Americans? If so, for me it's a must.

Put the Detached Shop... I would prefer it and anyone like me who wants a shop can afford it.

Finished Package always!

How do you know exactly where the septic system is going to be? Does it have to be in a specific designated area?

Finished package

Maybe I haven’t watched enough of your videos yet but I have a question. I own a few mobile home parks but thought I would venture into a start to finish build on 1 parcel of land. How did you get the funding? Was it all your cash? As an investor, I don’t want to use all my own money and tie it up for years. How did you do the financing and are you selling it to the new homeowner or renting it out? I’m at a tipping point where I want to create value for lower priced homes but I could scale larger if I could get funding to do it.

I am preparing my own land for a doublewide and have a question. I would like to order the home without flooring and door and window trim as I am a finish carpenter. Is this something that can be done?

So things like getting electricity to the house and all the prep for the lot, did you have to pay out of pocket or is everything included in the loan?

so getting quotes on everything is that something the home manufacture your working with takes care of? if i sit down with a home manufacture and have the land will they take care of all the logistics of getting the home complete?

How much Kerry?, maybe your new home can be our new B.C. home

I’d let the new owners add the shop/garage.

Build the shop upfront

I wouldn’t put the shop on the property you can always add it

Where are you located? What State and County? How big is the lot? What is the sale price?

Yo love this show price is key

Utility companies are pretty much the only ones who can get away with monopolies. 🙄😑

Add the shop it makes a nice complete package..What is the actual price difference 15,000-20,000 ?

Definitely need a shop

I've heard no mention of how to get internet connected

Definitely build shed.

I'm thinking you're not on well water you would be on city water, so why would you have to put in a septic system if you're on City water and wondering why you wouldn't be on city sewer as well just curious?

Every Starbucks South the price goes up a hundred grand

I’d be looking for a 2 or 3 car garage and enough power run to the house so I could put in a charge station fo an electric car.

Me personally I would leave the shop to the buyer. That way they can buy whatever shop they desire.

I have a question, me and my family recently bought land in the county of harris in texas. We need an engineer to do the design. We are trying tu place 4 manufactured houses in one acre. Can anyone help me get ahold of an engineer or what we should do?

How much for the land before prepping?

Add the shop

Rich people can always add a shop later

Build the shop.

are these canadian dollars or us dolalrs?

How long does this process usually take? A month? couple months?

Add shop what will get a young family as well as order gen that want to play with there toys

How many amps and is it single or 3 phase?

Does each home get its own electric pole?

holly cow thats alot

Didn't this property use to have a house on it?

are your prices Canadian or US?

If this is a re-sale property, leave it and let the buyer do what they want on their own...

So you're doing all this just to flip it?

How come you never mention the cost of the lot? Isn’t that a big part of the cost!

Watch NEVER BUY A CLAYTON MANUFACTURED HOME on KZfaq then don't buy one

its a shame that i dont have a company to supply them with a indoor solar power system with the monthly cost of hydro i could save them a lot of money I just dont have the upfront cost to build the system as we already have the technology to build it

Did you have to hire a civil engineer?

dear sir, you talk too much. Show more pictures of the topic. You could narrate, SO REMOVE YOUR FACE.
