If you paid 58k for lumber I’d look to a lower cost competitor.

https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/housing...you know everything being equal I get that.. but this time around its not equal.. there is a big gaping hole in construction financing for new builds.. that is keeping starts down for sure.. and then land to build on.. lead times in many jurisdictions are measured in years. but I believe the prices are stabilizing.. and one thing for new construction that slows it as well is the material costs sky rocketed and there fore unless prices rise margins are too thin to build.. something has to give.. if demand for lumber calms down maybe we will see lumber come back to historic norms.. 

Some materials -- like lumber and paint -- have gone up a lot more than 30%, so certain tasks are skewed more than others.

I made one phone call and got it sold in one week because I wasn't greedy, so keep that in mind if you are looking to unload it quickly.

A lot of the work they give you is basic grunt work (loading/unloading, moving stuff around, shoveling, etc).

If you are adding in new framing, then do the termite tenting after all lumber has been installed but before completion as you don't want to mess up any new landscape, etc.

(It is difficult to evaluate because of all of the hyperbole surrounding the bill.)But I think it is important for someone new to consider if they may wind up looking to unload the home if things don’t work out.

I’m also a soft wood lumber salesman for the east TN region supplying 2 x materials and other boards from the southeast.

Those are just the sucker properties that mainland people try to unload to remote investors.

I've used the LVT from lumber liquidators and it seems to hold us thus far although its only been a few months.
