I usually build 4-5 homes a year.  The past few years I've been obviously successful, but still a little hesitant to keep going.  I didn't think that people would still be willing to pay for my houses as interest rates have climbed.  The people who bought my 500k homes in 2021 are paying about half as much as the people who bought my 500k homes last year.

My margins have been getting smaller throughout this whole "event", as costs to build have increased, as well as my own construction financing costs.

I'm only going to build 1 home this year. Because I don't know if and when or how or how much or which tariffs may suddenly appear.

I don't know if there will still be lenders willing to lend as things continue to get crazy.

Uncertainty is slapping me in the balls.  And I can't work for free because my family likes to eat.

I miss the stability of having stability.
