Revealing How Much it Cost to Build My First House for a Rental Property!!

I built my first house for a real estate investment rental property. I started the build on Jan 9th of 2023 and finished March 20th of 2023. It only took me 77 days! I built this house in north Houston Texas. It is a 1500 sq ft house with 3 beds and 2 full bath rooms and a 400 sq ft one car garage.
I completed this build without any guidance or mentorship whatsoever. I simply learned as I went. Obviously it is a large project for anyone to take on for the first time, but it went surprisingly smooth.
This is a video of the house tour where I show off the completed project. Yes I built on a budget, but I will continue to get better as a builder and I will take bolder steps to build nicer houses. But also, I have to keep in mind these only be for rental properties so I cannot go too crazy.
Now that I have completed my first build, I am starting a home building business, Robinson Builds LLC. I only plan to build homes to keep for my own real estate rental portfolio.
I plan to build at least 1 more house in 2023. What do you want to see more of from my channel?

Great job. You really didn't underestimate too much. Nice looking house for $105/sf. Great finishes. The landscape, propane tank and the cabinets are what put you a little high of the budget. 77 day completion time is excellent on you first build. You also put together a great show. Good luck on your future builds and much success. A retired Houston area home builder.

Bro, I used a builder, I was pretty involved and I was basically getting bids from other contractors just to see if it worth hiring a builder or not.. and let me tell you you saved roughly $50k-70k . You already have a lot of equity in this house if you decide to sell it. I was honestly happy with the builder and I actually left him a tip of $2500 credit. It is A LOT of work, and basically I couldn’t do it with my full time job. But it is very rewarding when it works out.. congratulations!

Wow! Watched all the progression videos! Helped me get an idea on how things are going to go on my future build financially and visually. You gained a sub. Looking forward to more future builds since you said this would be your first! 💯

The fact that you are that precise with the cost tracking tells me you will do great. I love excel, never used builders software.

Thank you so much for the detailed video you made. You’re amazing, this helps me a lot in my build process. I like how you separated the cost of materials from the cost of labor for some items, I am a diy guy so I can approximate better by taking out the labor
