How To Build A House: The Ultimate OWNER BUILDER Guide!

My name is Case Robinson, and I am 26
old and I have successfully built 2 homes

As an owner-builder and right now I am
planning my third home build.

I've created this video to be the most
in-depth video on YouTube that will

actually teach you to build your own
house.

I'm going to be covering everything from
obtaining an owner-builder loan and

getting the financing you'll need to
actually designing the house, to finding

and hiring, to sub-contractors and
supplies that you'll need, to actually

building the house and actually managing
the job site.

And, then all the way to the final blue
tape walk-through and final completed

home build.

If you are interested in building your
house,

Then you should click the link down below
and check out my digital course,

where I teach you everything you need to
know to actually take on your first build.

As long as I provide ten PDFs and
downloadable Excel sheets that will

assist you throughout your first home
build.

So, with that said, let's get into the
video.

So, the very first step in this building-
your-own-house process is figuring out

what I like to refer to as the initial
idea.

And, if you are watching this video, then
you probably already have this initial

idea appear in your head, and that is
likely one of the three options

that I am about to list.

Either you are thinking that you want to
build a house to rent,

or you're thinking you want to build a
house to sell,

or lastly, and probably the most popular,
you're thinking you want to build

a house to occupy and live in then for
your primary residence.

Building a house to rent can be building
a single family property to keep as a

rental property, long-term real estate
investment,

or secondly, you might be thinking of
building a duplex or a triplex

or a four plex or maybe even a small scale
apartment complex,

or maybe even a big scale apartment
complex to keep as a long-term

investment property.

And then, lastly, building a house to
occupy and live in for your primary

residence is obvious, you know, maybe
you're thinking you want to build a

slightly larger house than what you live
in right now with a pool.

That way, you can live there, you know,
5 to 15 years and have your family

grow into that house.

Or maybe you're like "Hey, I have all the
money in the world.

I have an unlimited budget and I'm ready
to retire and build my, you know, custom

dream home on 200 acres and wherever
that may be.

So, those are likely the three options for
your initial idea, and that is the very

first step to the building-your-own-
house process.

Just determining what that initial idea
is.

Are you going to build a house to rent,
to sell, or to live in as your primary

residence.

The second step to the building-your-own-
house process is determining your

preliminary budget for the project, and
this kind of depends on what financing

you decide to go with on your home
building.

And, for the most part, there are two main
financing options.

The first one being cash in your own
personal resources, and then the second

one would be a construction loan of
some sort.

Cash in your own personal resources could
be considered a number of things.

One, and most important
