#210 - What It Really Costs to Build a House on Your Land with Dalton Gilbert
About this episode
In this episode, Dalton Gilbert discusses the true costs of building a house on land and the economic impact of whitetail hunting in rural areas.
Welcome to the land podcast, a platform for people looking to educate themselves in the world of land ownership, land investing, staying up to date with current land trends in the Midwest, and hearing from industry experts and professionals. On today's episode, we are back in the studio talking with Dalton Gilbert. We discuss: Building a home on land almost always costs 20–30% more than expected. Sweat equity can dramatically reduce the cost of building your own home. Interest rates can add hundreds per month during a build timeline. Slab homes and shophouses are often the most economical build style. Many hunters are relocating to Iowa for trophy whitetail opportunities. Box blinds and standing crops are changing hunting strategies statewide. Hunter efficiency today is leading to more mature bucks being harvested. Whitetail hunting drives massive economic impact in rural counties. Small local businesses thrive when hunters travel to hunt big deer. Hard work matters, but family and integrity should always come first. And so much more! Get Pre-Approved to Purchase a farm with Buck Land Funding: https://www.firstbankers.com/bucklandfunding…
