3D printers the future of real estate

[John Hyatt]

I know it’s at the beginning stages, but do you think the 3D printers will be the future of real estate? Building apartment complex, subdivisions, or skyscrapers? I read an article that a Chinese company is selling 3D printers that can build homes for as little as $16k all the way up to $44k, they built 10 houses in 24 hours (granted they weren’t the nicest design). I can see several years down the road spec builders or corporations using these to cut down on labor costs. Some of the problems I can think of is where do you store the printer after it is done printing the home and how do you transport it? I am sure this is an easy problem to solve, just curious. What do you think?
