@Michael Menchaca keep in mind if you do this that the interior finish is typically the costlier and more labor intensive portion of the project.

@Dustin Haug it is found on the in.gov website and it is state specific. It is only for owners of companies.

@Mark Tittle i take it you built/bought it in 2006 ?

How was the cashflow at the beginning and I would assume it has improved sincz then ?

I like the idea also to build new as it would decrease maintenance issues (and i hate fixing old krap) lol

@Kevin Coleman so i am in a similar situation but i am srlling a house I own. I have given the title company the dollar amount of what my brokers share of the split is and the are only charging me that. The buyers agent will receive the agreed percentage.

In turn I will not receive a check from my broker for commission.

Others states laws may be different.

@Kevin Zhang the possibilty of printed homes has no affect on my choices of investments. The current economic state of our country is a much bigger concern for my investments.

As someone stated already the actual construction of the home is the easy part.

@Kevin Zhang i cant click the link but a thought of mine is unless the printer has the abiltiy to produce exterior and/or interior finishes savings will be minimal.

The actual framing of the house is actually one of the cheapest parts of it even with lumber increasing significantly. Labor for framing also is a small portion of the man hours involved in a total house.

You would also need to take into consideration plumbing, electrical, hvac, trim, drywall, cabinets etc and etc.

Not saying it cant haopen in the future but I would think robots performing all thise tasks is in the future a ways.

@Jeff Terry is this a good neighborhood for rentals is somewhat a tricky question. The agent may be fearful of getting in trouble over the fair housing laws. I hear there are people out there testing agents for violations of this sort of thing and since he probably doesnt know you well doesnt want to answer.

@Weng L. Ic...keep in mind that the broker has say in the situation also. My broker would most likely not allow this to happen.

Just go use one of those rebate agents if you are comfortable without representation and make the deal happen !
