I’m having a hell of a time sorting out financing… any one have any good resources or contacts for construction loan?

Welcome to the community of future builders! The goal of this community is to make it easier for you to tackle your first build. We are here to share techniques, budgets, mistakes, corrections, and share anything that helps advance each others builds. There is a leaderboard to track engagement and reward members who contribute - here’s how it works: POINTS: You earn points when other members like your posts or comments. 1 like = 1 point. This encourages users to produce quality content and interact with other members in the community. LEVELS: As you gain points, you level up. Your level is shown at the bottom right of your avatar. The number of points required to get to the next level is shown under your avatar on your profile page. In the future, contests will be announced to reward weekly/ monthly leaders, and prizes will be available at certain levels. INACTIVITY: Please note, the intention of this group is to create and active and engaged community that helps everyone involved advance their goals of building a home. If you entered the group during the free start up period, and are inactive for longer than 30 days, you may be removed from the group. NOW TOO, KICK THINGS OFF! Please comment below introducing yourself. Let us know: 1. Your province and city. 2. What's your big why is for wanting to build? 3. Your #1 hurdle, bottleneck, or fear at this point in your journey. 4. Your social media handles so we can all connect and watch our build progress! See you in the comments! Let’s get building! Mitch

I’ve been chatting with some framers this week and hearing that local framing prices are ranging between $15-$20 per square foot depending on roof complexity. This is labor only no material of course. I remember about 7 years ago when it was closer to $10 per sqft! Has anyone else gotten quotes to compare notes? If so post below!

I'm about to start pulling together a budget for a potential future build this week, and I imagine it will take me at least two weeks to pull in all of the major line items to get a solid budget that is one layer more accurate than my per square foot model. Does anyone have an itemized budget they have pulled together recently that they would be willing to share all or any parts of, with some context about the size and complexity of the build? If so I could potentially get a shared group drive folder going to house these and we could hop on a group call in the coming weeks to discuss. If you've got anything your willing to share, just comment "I'll Share" below and I'll DM you. ALSO Based on the recent interest in the "5 day challenge" model I have seen in a real estate investment group I take part in, I am wondering if there would be appetite in this group to participate in an intensive "5 day budget challenge" where we all go through the motions of breaking up a line item budget of about 50 major items into 10 items a day that we all track down in our respective market and feed our inputs back into the group to build our semi accurate line item budget in the least time possible. Let me know your thoughts. Cheers, Mitch

Many new members have joined over the last few weeks, and many of you are in the very early information-gathering phase, as I've found out through chatting with you in DMs. If this sounds like you, and you have no idea where to start, I'll be expanding on this topic of rough budgeting in the coming weeks, but have a look at this video first and let me know what questions you have, or if you want to see more of this content style and topic.
