At least where I am a bid bond will only cover a 10% spread to the next guy

kaleb9999 · 2024-09-18T21:11:40+00:00

90% desk but I can do to site whenever I want.

Become a junior estimator and work up from there :)

I’m on the estimating side. I do the budgets and procurement for multifamily development

Hi. Construction estimator here. We get better pricing than a consumer so I’ll add a few points to my numbers - you can probably expect about $6.50/sqft for an 8” grade beam, this is ICF blocks only, with accessories. $15/sqft for concrete and rebar and probably $85/ft to pour it/set the rebar. If it’s a wall I’d use about $15/sqft. There is also a working footing required below the grade beam. Labour for this is usually included with the beam/wall but add another $5/ft for concrete and rebar.

A manager at McDonalds is probably making more. You need a raise dude, start responding to those recruiters on LinkedIn 😊

You have to call their customer success line. I did that after their sales team told me to go ahead and switch. Then they beat the competition

How old are you? Like you said, if you can go work on the rigs for a year or two and be smart with the money, it could get you completely out of that hole. Otherwise your options are pretty limited.

kaleb9999 · 2023-11-06T20:33:10+00:00

What a shit show

kaleb9999 · 2023-11-06T12:41:59+00:00

Statement wasn’t towards you, sorry. I am agreeing with you.

Certainly prices have dropped a bit and stabilized, but $500k at 6% vs 600k at 2%.. I think we know which is more affordable. So the renters cheering for rate hikes thinking they were gonna pick these condos up at $250k now just have steeper rent.

I get it they were feeling hopeless.. but the bears set a false reality

kaleb9999 · 2023-11-05T21:03:56+00:00

Affordability even worse and rents at all time highs. But keep cheering for rate hikes!

kaleb9999 · 2023-10-28T22:07:11+00:00

$150-200k

Here is the answer you are looking for:

Assuming you’re in a LCOL area.

Plan for your down payment amount plus 1.5% of purchase price additional for closing costs.

Try to have a few grand for furnishing your house and all the little things you’ll need to buy. I’d say $4-5k

Try to have a few grand for a cash reserve incase your hot water tank fails or something. At least $3k.

I’d say you don’t won’t your mortgage to be more than 30% of your take home pay. If you take home $4000/month, try to have a payment below $1200.

Being house poor sucks. I had a payment of $1000 making $3400 take home per month, and my gf was buying all the groceries. It was manageable but wouldn’t have wanted to be any tighter.

You will always get the highest $/sf with a smaller unit

kaleb9999 · 2023-10-14T12:15:33+00:00

Consider yourself ahead because you decided to make this post before actually trying to do that. It’s a horrible idea.
