Any home based business success stories out there?

What does Kiyosaki's "questionable military service" have to do with real estate?

Nothing, directly. It just supports the case of his lack of credibility. All I'm saying is check the guy out before spending money on his wares. There are too many other credible sources out there to waste time and money with him.

Any homebuilders out there? I'm in the process of starting up a land/property development company and just wanted to get an idea of the cost of homebuilding since Katrina. I had heard a 20% increase in material costs.

TV9Driver - not a builder, but have friends who are building. In Niceville - near Eglin AFB in the panhandle - new homes in nice subdivisions are going for $245 sf. Not kidding. Condos on the water, preconstruction, are $800-1000 sf. Folks in MS are getting custom homes done for $100-150sf.

The builder I talked to in Tx said he could build me a house for $65 sf.

For $65 a square foot you are not going to be getting the highest quality building materials. Might be at code but without a doubt not the best.

You get what you pay for when you are building a house. If you buy a house strictly by what the price per square foot is, you are going to be dissapointed in the long run.

I paid $115 a square foot for my house in Dallas back in 2001 and I got a good deal. Not the most expensive house in the neighborhood but not the cheapest either.

What does Kiyosaki's "questionable military service" have to do with real estate? I'm not defending the guy but that's irrelevant. Besides the POTUS has questionable military service and that hasn't held him back. I can't imagine what he'd be doing if his Dad wasn't HW Bush. Perhaps he'd be managing a pizza place or 7-11. Or writing real estate books like Kiyosaki.

I think you can find foreclosures through court records.

Great Dave, now Bush is going to spend more tax payer dollars monitoring your phone calls!:smash::laugh:

There is an Airtran Capt who mows lawns on our street during his extra time. I believe he charges 50 bucks. We considered it but then again...........

You mean your parents considered hiring someone to mow the lawn. You do still live in their basement, don't you, Snake?

The real question is why they don't even trust you to operate even a simple lawnmower.

Thats true the average in Socal is between $85-100 sf.
