@Boone McEntire are you trying to get what the value would be after building or construction cost? While both will vary construction cost will be close, by value will be determined by location. You can build a million dollar home in a 30k area and its only worth 30k (well a little more, but my point remains). IF you are doing everything yourself and keeping it simple then 45-55 a sq ft. Also not sure about well/septic or city utilities as this will impact cost as well.

I was afraid I might have worded it wrong.

Basically I am just asking if one house is worth more than the other. As I have not gotten into real estate quite yet, I have not had the experience that others will. I could get the cost of building these houses, and figure out all of the little things and that type of thing. But would a Log house sell for more than a timber frame? Would it add value to a property, more than a different type of house?

Does that make more sense now?

I have been wanting to get into real estate. But one thing I did want to do is buy land and build on it. And so I wanted to hear what you all said about the values of houses on property.

I am just going to make up a house build and see what you think the values of them are.

The houses are brand new, 4 bedroom, 2 bath. It has a full-size basement and small attic (crawl space). The houses are made of Log, Timber frame and stick (Maybe the wrong term. But that is what I used in construction regarding building made of something like 2x4 with drywall)

I know that you really can't give a great value since this is all made up. But I was trying to see which type of house would value.

I assure you I am quite real, at least I was last time I checked....

It is nice to have someone who is not so far away. I believe you would be less than 2 hours away. Very encouraging.

And thank you all for the advice. I will take it into account. I do plan to come on regularly to try and learn more. And so far it seems to be helping.

Thanks for the welcoming!

Hello.

My name is Boone and I live in a small town. I admit that I was slightly concerned about telling some about me because I was not sure how some people would take with someone as young as I am being here. But I am not here to just fall back out, I am here to learn and try to move forward in life.

I am 18 years old, last year I graduated from high school, I was home schooled (But more like self-taught). I have never had an "on paper" job. I have worked construction for a private party for several years , which I hope to put to use when flipping properties, or even building on land.

I have no properties at this time. And not much knowledge. But I am here to learn, and I am open to any advice that is beneficial.
