So what about land
Your are naturally BEAUTIFUL! I truly love your drive and passion. Success is a moment away from you.
@@judahcentral9884 thank you!!
Thanks for your tips!
Ooooh I certainly can confirm that it takes looooooong to get your mortgage! Ridiculously long! You can get a loan or mortgage approved in max 3 weeks abroad some even just by putting numbers and application online whilst it takes up to a bloodC. Year to get your mortgage thru in JN yeah defo 6 months should be in your calculations 🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️ And make sure you have references lined up, and not normal references it feels like you need to be close friends with the PM to get a bank account in JN. The rules are ridiculous! Beyond ridiculous! But they wait soon competition will arrive and slap all the traditional banks with their 100yrs old rules slapped out their thrones. Ps: I love your vibe
Yes you are correct. Loan is granted on market value( professional opinion)rather than on seller's perceived value.
So cute
Nice vibes....clean vocal...well spoken...I will subscribe...like and share your videos
It is also important to have an Electrical Plan which is separate from architectual plan...This is required for your house to be inspected and issue a compliance certificate. The compliance certificate is required to get JPS meter or light at your house...
Will share in an updated video, thank you!
good stuff
How much did you pay per ft2 for tiling?
Babygirl you're the boss
Some contractors grieve because of this video because they would tell you a 17 million to do this. I see some man on TH-cam giving some price for a two bedroom it's ridiculous 😂. I like to see videos like these it encourage me to build, and here I was with more than 20 million to build a 3 bedroom and sacred it's not enough.😮
Thank you for this information
What are the dimension and size of the rooms
9'x 10'
Can I get your work crew to build mine please?😂
Where's the house?
The lady seh Portmore bout 15 eleventeen time 🙄
😂@@AlexaC.209
subscribed because you are real. good luck
If 1 gallon of paint does 450sq ft why did you need 8 gallons? Most you need is 4 gallons to do 2 coats on each side - also why was your paint labour cost free?
What’s the name/contact # of the place in Portmore did you buy the wash sand ?
@@kizzys5197 I believe Family Tree
I have no issues finding properties. I do have issues finding the money.
Floored 😂😂 May you find the money soon!
Do you own a home? Could you join with others? Increase your income. some suggestions.
JC, I found music
JC, which tune & artist is playing in video? Your video will do wonders for my project, as I’m planning to come ‘home’, & add on to an existing 2br house on 2 acre land…
It's a drill instrumental from CapCut and all the best on your construction journey!
@@JeanaCavel PC, may I suggest u deal with a video on ‘shipping’? I’m a young almost retired person, & I want to take my nice furnishings back home. My shipper says a container (from nyc) wil cost $5500us. Container is a little bigger than the Amazon vans a run up n down. I want to ship cah d tings in 🇯🇲 noh mek good cah them come from a place far to the east, and u have to buy them back every few years.
Your videos are so insightful! ❤ That aside, your hair looks gorgeous 😍
@@malayka2175 thank you!!
Great information thanks. Did you use a project manager?
@@recewin I did not use a project manager and instead acted as such with the help of my dad. I had used a trusted mason, family, different laborers, etc. There were some mistakes and I shared those on here.
How big was your house,height of it and how much block did you use?
@@rushtv320 Approximately 540 sq ft. I believe I used close to 1,300 blocks. The exact measurements are listed in the video detailing my cost breakdown from 2-3 years ago.
🎉🎉 thank you So much for sharing😊😊🎉🎉
Hi new to your channel but one thing I don't understand you said you bill your house in portmore but where did you get the land to bill did you buy it it's a family land because I am from portmore and I don't know of any land selling portmore I know you can get a house to purchase I hope you see this so you can answer me on this one please cuz I would love to purchase a house in portmore but I would like to find out how you did this I am living in America right now
@@jenmiller1639 Hi Jen, thanks for your question. In short, I bought a small 2 bedroom house and the land that was in the back of it, I made an addition and turned it into a separate house. It’s common in Portmore. I don’t know a full list of areas but you can actually buy just land in places like Cedar Grove and Hellshire. I have a whole series on my channel detailing various stages of the process from the platforms I used to find properties, how I got a mortgage, building, etc.
Nice video
You are so funny
Hired At A BAR 😅😂
@@portmoreapparel108 no lies told 😂
6k a bucket, nah! I charge 7500 hundred a bucket
Where are you located?
Love your videos The sir I’m just a girl was IT for me!!! Love this & congratulations!!
I’m so proud of you! We all make mistakes but I wouldn’t call it a mistake. I see that you’ve learned you a great deal. I absolutely appreciate your feedback. Keep on pushing sis and keep making these videos.
Make sure all craftsman are certified, with proof.
Jamaica systems are slow..
Jamaican builders are rubbish. Bring in your own builders from overseas.
Nice project. However a couple things stood out. That’s a crazy amount of thinset on the floor. Also, maybe they laid them short but I’m wondering if horizontal steel was used between the blocks. Many stirrups weren’t bent properly and some were made using too much steel. Edit: No ventilation in bathroom🥹
Congratulations!!! Thanks for sharing your video, it’s very interesting and informative from start to finish.
Welcome back! 😀
Thank you!
Thanks for another great informative video.
Thank you!
Mumah a weh yuh did deh! Been a look fi yuh channel a while now and couldn’t find it
Took a trip to St. Lucia and also went back home to Jamaica but I am back now😅
How did you obtain the land?
Would you refer your contractors as well
I am sorry Natasha, I didn't use a contractor but a mason to do everything.
@@JeanaCavel thanks for responding , would you be willing to recommend whomever you used?
You're smart girlie have me here thinking how fast i could flip my savings to build a property of similar capacity
Very good and informative video.
Thanks
Good job, can i get a contact number for your contractor
Just about to start building a house in Jamaica while in US, would love to get more info on contractor etc
I didn't use a contractor but instead different laborers.
One contractor told me from foundation to belting is 6.5 not with material. For his time...I didn't call him back
🤣🤣🤣
How u doing it
