Can you finance new construction?

• <div><p>Yes, you can finance new construction using a construction loan or a construction-to-permanent loan, or you can use a home equity line of credit or a cash-out refinance if you’re building a second home. Some mortgagors may have restrictions on DIY house builds, so be sure to check that you can get financing before starting your project. </p></div>

Can you add home addition costs to a mortgage?

• <div><p>You can’t add home addition costs to an existing mortgage, but you can include them in a new mortgage if you take out a rehab loan. Rehab loans—FHA-backed 203k loans and conventional rehab loans—are for more than the value of a property, and the excess is meant to cover the cost of a renovation or home addition.</p></div>

Which states allow shipping container homes to be built?

• <div><p>It is a good idea to check in with your local city and state regulations before committing to building a shipping container home no matter where you live. This concept is pretty new across the country, and many places won’t let you build one.</p><p>The International Code Council (ICC) offers <a href="https://codes.iccsafe.org/content/ICCG52019">guidelines for home builders</a> on the safe use of ISO intermodal shipping containers repurposed as building components, which can be helpful to review when planning or designing a shipping container home.</p><p> </p><p></p></div>

Q: Can you add home addition costs to a mortgage?

• <div><p>You can&rsquo;t add home addition costs to an existing mortgage, but you can include them in a new mortgage if you take out a rehab loan. Rehab loans&mdash;FHA-backed 203k loans and conventional rehab loans&mdash;are for more than the value of a property, and the excess is meant to cover the cost of a renovation or home addition.</p></div>

Q: Will a 20x20 garage fit 2 cars?

• <div><p>The smallest size a standard 2-car garage can be is 20 feet by 20 feet, so at these dimensions, you could reasonably expect to fit two cars inside. However, it&rsquo;s going to be a tight fit, especially if you have larger SUVs or pickup trucks. For smaller cars, 20 x 20 should be plenty for parking and some space to maneuver around the cars. A larger garage size would be better to ensure you have room to open the doors and transport groceries or other items around the cars.</p></div>

Q: Should a new garage with an apartment be attached or detached from the home?

• <div><p>This is a matter of personal preference. However, building a detached structure is generally considered better if you intend to rent out the new space. The advantage to going with an attached garage addition is that you may pay less for plumbing, HVAC, and other features because you can use the existing systems from your home to carry over piping and wires.</p></div>

Avoid! Cannon Pricket is not reliable or honest. After nine months of having our $10k deposit, he did not complete our barn project. We are still waiting to receive the remainder ($3000) of our deposit back after cancelling due to his lack of communication and zero reliability. It’s a shame...

We were not impressed. We decided not to use this builder. Not a custom builder. They wouldn't make changes to house plans, not even for a price. Also beware everything is a "up grade".
