I got so much value from this. Thank you, Steve. Please continue sharing everything you know, I'll listen to all of them. By the way, I just recently graduated with a civil engineering degree. What tip would you like to give me, who dreams of being a home builder one day?
Great content. Looking forward to the upcoming videos
More to come!
Like that street this video is gold! Looking forward to more valuable content like this👏 the format of the video is perfect! I am an architect myself looking to get into building & selling designer homes
You are in a unique position. Eventually you may have a client that wants you to design a home to build and sell. Partner up with that person on a couple separate deals. That's how I started I had access to land, and a project manager and I partnered with a client we did work for . I asked him if he would do a separate deal with me . He agreed and that changed my life.
@buildingwithsteveharbaugh thank you for the great insight! Will surely lookout for such deals.
Great video full of insights 🔥
Glad you enjoyed it
Great run down in this short video ! Lots of good info
thank you for watching
@@buildingwithsteveharbaugh Thank you for putting out the video Steve, something to aspire to
Amazing value brother !!!
Thank you more to come!
great video!!!
Glad you liked it!!
Thank you for the great video.
Glad you enjoyed it!
You've got some great talent, dude! I build staging for rock concerts for a living. Maybe I'll do this sometime. This makes me wanna try it!
Thank you! Your already in construction the rest is easy if done correctly. Go for it !
Amazing video Steve! Quick questions, What do you think is the best skill(s) to learn to be in this business? And what are the books/resources you used to get there?
Also, I'll be eagerly waiting for those videos mentioned in the end. Great channel!
Read Rich Dad Poor Dad. And The Apple Tree Method , a book I wrote that will be out next month. Best skills to learn is get educated then be persistent . Never give up . Learn WHY you want to be in this business . PASSIVE INCOME! That's what it's all about. Building homes and flipping homes is just a means to make chunks of money to invest into a piece of real estate that makes money each month passive income. Stay tuned I will explain exactly how to do it. Love your drive by the way.
Hey Steve, Great video. Just curious, how has the new Flood Insurance requirements for the NJ Shore are effected your business?
It's always changing , just roll with the new regs and adapt. They raised the height of the foundations but the architects adapted and so did we.
Great knowledge!!
thank you get out there and build!!
Hey Steve
I love your videos. You do an amazing job. I’m so glad that I subscribed. I just have one question for you. How do you feel about ICF homes?
I actually had to look up ICF. I have seen them don't know much about them. I stick with classic stick frame construction.
Stick frame construction isn’t good with hurricanes.
great information
Glad it was helpful!
If I could start over with a wealthy family, business insider information, and a business role model I would totally build houses.
I had none of this and now my builder. I’m from the hood of Memphis Tennessee! Don’t make excuses. Find a way!
@@FliptitMatt right on. 👊🏻👊🏻
@@FliptitMatthow do you become a delevoper bro? Where can I learn? Where did you learn???
I also grew up with no money. Lived off food stamps and constantly moved around and as of last year became a builder. It’s definitely doable if you work for it.
@@FliptitMatt I agree. How are you making out in Memphis? What is your end goal being a builder?
Quality video. Why would you build Sfr if you could do storage facilities and create passive income ?
Don’t you prefer passive?
Do you also rent residential?
Do you regret not renting any of the homes you built
Passive Income is key. That's the goal the target. How do we get here we need chunks of money. Flip homes which I did. But I found these beach homes I could flip and make bigger chunks of money. I rolled them into storage facilities, medical buildings and offices . These beach houses do no cash flow well with the rents. That's why I dod not rent them out. I also suggest commercial real estate when it comes to holding for passive income. Keep watching I will explain it all in upcoming videos.
Great video Steve, can you make a video going more into detail of getting your first spec home? I think that would help a bunch of people out
Underwriting, funding, how much $ down you need, how to hire all the right people to get the job done?
Absolutely in production now. I am very detailed with the process. All your questions will be answered, if not feel free to ask. Thanks for watching !
So your project manager is essentially a tech savvy superintendent?
Correct , someone who knows construction inside and out. And that's good with operations. Also who can establish SOP. Standard operating procedures.
@@buildingwithsteveharbaugh Got it. Currently putting together my SOP's.
Do you sell courses?
When you first started also.. did you go to each site everyday? Or did you have a project manager from the start?
Never mind lol just heard you say you’ve done it from the start 10/10 perfect video✅
No but everything you need to know will be on this channel , I remember what its like to try and get REAL advice with out someone trying to make a buck. that's why I am doing it, I enjoy teaching.
@@Rashard121121 Project manager you efforts need to me focusing on more deals. You don't have to hire a full time person. Hire a GC and pay them a fee.
@@buildingwithsteveharbaugh Okay I really appreciate you and what you’re doing for everyone!! Hope to be on your level someday
Wtf is Vishal doing here? Lol. Small world.
Yes it is !
@@buildingwithsteveharbaugh He is family. I hope to be doing what you're doing soon. Thanks for the great video.
Just imagine building a wooden cardboard house where a tsunami can hit any minute- a typical example of America's poor quality architecture/infrastructure lol.
Designed for 130 mile an hour high winds with a ton of steel strapping. Been through one hurricane already. Still standing baby!
Screw custom home building.
People will drive you insane.
They do but it’s a great way to have guaranteed cash flow while you are building your own spec homes to flip. I used this method to make chunks of money then rolled into passive income properties like self storage facilities. Custom home building is a means to an end!
50k subs by 2025!
Thanks I like helping , I have failed and learned a lot. Why not share it with everyone !
