News on Youtube Dec 22 2018

what's going on guys Brian here and today I want to talk about my March 2018

expenses how much I made with Amazon FBA and doing my online arbitrage I'm gonna

run you through all the expenses all the backend stuff and really give you an

important important lesson on building products up in FBA so that you can get

that big payout and we're gonna talk about this there's a lot of high

production value in this video coming so stay tuned but we're gonna jump right

through I'm gonna show you some of the expenses cuz literally the number one

question and as I you know pop up my both my business credit card and my

business bank account I'm gonna have to make sure that I block out some of these

you know some of my account numbers and personal information if it is there but

probably the number one question that I get asked across the board as you can

see down here we're starting in March is I can't find great products I can't find

enough great products I can't find whether you know that person spending

has a hundred bucks to invest in products and they think that they can

only find you know 20 great products that they can afford and then flip

online or if they have you know a lot to invest and they can't find enough

products to spend all their money on none of that's true but you just have to

you know you have to understand where to source them from you know how to get

more products and you know understand the the idea of buying a bunch and then

building them up in FBA because there's different receiving times when you send

your products into FBA into the warehouses and and so on and so forth

I'm gonna touch on a lot of that here in a second but I just want to run you

through some examples of stuff that I bought in March of 2018 so you

understand the entire back end of the business model how much I had to pay out

in taxes how much my actual take-home pay was and really what I made I feel

like this is a really valuable way to show you guys you know the back end of

the business because a lot of people don't talk about this stuff they just

say hey I made 10 grand but they're not telling you oh you know they had to pay

X amount of taxes or this what they had to spend on it I'm gonna show you all

that here today so we're starting at the bottom here and you can see March 1st is

when I started spending on my business credit card yeah this is my business

credit card I bought a four dollar profit before ninety four product the

dollar a dollar well I can't speak at the holiday 23 product to 93 199 190 and

then it looks like this probably was a couple of them at 34 27 it could have

been a big product sometimes I do like to buy big products like that if I can

flip them for like a hundred or two but that's more on the rare side the

majority the products that I like to teach and if you guys are interested at

any point during this this uh this I almost have lecture like this was the

course this YouTube video first link in the description is online arbitrage pro

there is through still only three only three claim codes left for the the fifty

percent off so use the coupon code Mary I'll pop that up on the screen that sale

is gonna end on Christmas Day and there is only three claim codes less so if you

want it 50% off you want online arbitrage pro 50% off first link in the

description use the coupon code Mary that's the last time I'm gonna say at

this video because I don't want to be you know spammy or salesy I just kind of

want to show you guys this business model like I said only three claim codes

left alright so that the majority of the products and we'll see here as I flip

through a little bit more of them for $26 for dollar 75358 een eight to one

eighty the majority of the products and as you go you know lower here it's like

one thirty one twenty four 121-125 two dollars sixty five cents the majority

the products that I'm gonna suggest that you buy that I take you through the

entire course is is really in that one two five dollar range and sometimes

you're gonna find products really twenty five cents or 65 cents like this one

right here but you're only spending a dollar or five bucks to make a ten

dollar profit margin back on your investment because every product that I

suggest that you buy and are running through countless examples of this and

how that you know basically source products that with a ten dollar profit

margin at least you know so if you have a hundred bucks to spend because another

question I get asked all the time is what do I need to spend or what do i

what do I have to have initially to invest into this this business model and

my answer is always anything you can start with twenty bucks you can start

with two grand you can start with fifty bucks you can start with five grand it's

a return on your investment business so hypothetically if you were to buy this

two dollar product with a profit margin of at least ten bucks let's say

hypothetically I had the profit margin of thirteen bucks well then you're

obviously gonna make that 13 bucks back now that is before shipping and before

fees but the shipping is kind of negated the way that I teach it because you ship

a bunch of products in at once so the shipping might be like 10 cents a

product it's practically irrelevant and obviously there's gonna be FBA fees on

that so maybe maybe you're losing another four bucks to five bucks

potentially depending on Radhika's differs product to product so

that's still like a margin of eight to nine bucks on that product that you're

making and you're only spending two dollars to get that now like I said

people say this all the time they can't find enough products here's proof that I

buy all these products literally on a day-to-day basis now I'm also gonna take

you through my bank account because I use both of them um it depends on the

month month which one I use more because this is a business credit card and I

opened this one of my credit was bad like a year and a half ago the limit is

only 2500 I checked that on last video because last video I said it was like 3

grand but it's actually only 2500 on this business credit card um I guess I

could file for you know an increased credit limit but I just haven't done

that so sometimes I do use my business bank account because I don't always like

to run this up and I do pay it off twice a month so let's run through this a

little bit here so March 10th 206 180 we got an $8 product an $18 proc this

might have been multiples I might have bought like like a quantity of 5 I don't

always suggest buying fond of these of more than one and the majority of time

you're going to only be buying one you know quantities of one for each product

but it's a $10 profit margin so just imagine if you could buy $20 or $20 20

items a day and if we look at you know March 11th that looks like I bought and

this was a big one right here so 77 94 that might have been a multiple quantity

product or it might have been just a big product that I made a huge return of my

investment from it's hard to it's impossible sakes it's 2018 and you know

it's so long ago but I also did that on my business bank account as well so you

can imagine if you got 20 products a day and a 10 dollar profit margin

well that's $200 profit obviously for the sticklers out there before Amazon

fees so let's assume that it's only $150 profit that's a hundred and fifty

dollars profit a day just sourcing products from online arbitrage right

from your house right from the computer wherever you want to do it so I just

wanted to run you through a couple examples let's go down the list here

March 15 look how many I spend on March 15th just a shitload right here we have

five nineteen five bucks twenty five forty five two bucks one thirty one

twenty two dollars five dollars three dollars one fifty one fifty two twenty

so for the people saying out there that they can't find good products you maybe

just haven't looked enough maybe you're not sourcing from the right websites and

there are 22 courses in my or twenty two courses too

22 websites in my course that you can source products from if you're doing it

right and you have enough to invest obviously if you have 500 to a grand you

can scale up to that 5k to realistically like 10k ish mark if you only have a

grand but if you have 500 bucks if you have if you have 50 bucks you can still

start with that as well it's a return on your investment business so start with

50 flip that and make like 250 300 because it's gonna differ from product

to product like I said before and then use that 300 that 250 to flip it to like

a thousand or 1200 and then use that 1200 or that thousand to flip it to like

five grand it's a return on your investment business and one of the

things and I'm going to show you my expenses and exactly what I made here in

a second this is exactly what Amazon paid me out in March of 2018 two

different payments because they pay you in a two-week period the whole idea

behind this business model before we get a little bit more into it and here's

where the high production value comes from there's three bases the basic

overall business model that I like to teach is you know the majority of time

and I do online arbitrage into many many forms and fashions but the the main one

that I like to do is Amazon to basically FBA and that's basically the business

model in a nutshell is you buy from Amazon right so super high production

value here guys um and it comes to your house or your apartment or wherever and

then you ship it from your house into FBA it's that simple people buy it from

FBA that's the overall business model in a nutshell it's super super simple so

the whole idea here is you're gonna buy from Amazon maybe you made a purchase

and a one day of like five items then maybe the next day you've made the

purchase of twelve items and then finally you know seven of those items

got delivered to your house but then you made another purchase of you know twelve

items again and then you know you know maybe 15 of those total got delivered

your house the next day the whole idea is you want to start building up your

FBI inventory the more you can inventory you can get into FBA the more you're

gonna start to see those reoccurring high grand payouts so if you can get you

know maybe I finally packaged all these up and I sent 22 in well then there's 22

items in FDA that have the potential to sell as soon as they're fulfilled and

fully received so then obviously maybe you want to keep ordering you order five

more let's it's uh

boom-boom-boom so then finally 22 or an inventory but maybe you know let's let's

say maybe you know five of them sold didn't mean to do that what's going on

here maybe five of them sold so now you're left with what 17 left an

inventory but then you order five more then you order you know 20 more then you

order ten more and then maybe 30 of those come to your house so then in the

meantime while when thirty of those came to your house you sold five more in FBA

so then now you're sitting at twelve an FBA totally mess that up

and you sent thirty more in let's erase this so I don't lose you here I'm all

over the place right now like I said guys high production value today so then

you know maybe you send thirty more of those in really fast and you sold five

in the meantime so and then finally you're sitting at 32 in FBA inventory

and let's erase all these and that's the over business overall business model in

a nutshell you're gonna order from Amazon Prime most of the time get it

delivered to your house you're gonna repackage it back up send it an FBA the

whole idea here is to start banking all your inventory in FBA so that when it

sells you're gonna start racking up your seller account money right and then

you're gonna start to see those high recurring payouts and that's exactly

what happened here when I go into my March 2018 payout I got two different

payouts totaling twenty one thousand six hundred and twenty two bucks and eight

cents because a lot of my inventory was in the filming centers and it just

started selling like crazy now I'm also gonna talk about a lot of

different expenses that I had I didn't net all this profit obviously you know

there were FBA fees there were expenses there were cost of goods and that's

something I'm talking about here in a second but that's still a great amount

of money and I took home a good amount of that now let's I just showed you the

for the people that say I don't actually do this and I just teach this here's yet

another month another example of me sourcing a shitload of products from out

on honestly from Amazon right here we got March 15 2023 six dollars for ninety

five fourteen eighteen for fourteen eighty four fifty eight twenty three to

twenty four dollars on March 16th March 7

18th March 17th March 18th March 19th you can see the proofs in the pudding I

sourced from Amazon all the time and I flipped products like that all the time

ideally you're gonna want to do about 10 to 20 a day if you can source a little

bit more you have more to invest then that's you know obviously ideal it's a

return on your investment business now let's hop into the the business bank

account I'll show you even more so 3-1 this is March 1st we have even more from

the business bank account 5351 which is another big purchase 23 24 3 3 2016 59

$9.99 $15.99 247 20 let's move on more from the 1st then into the 2nd then

looks like I skipped a bunch of days and went to the 5th 191 up here we got a 250

a 399 a 225 and all of these products that are low I guarantee you I was

sourcing at least a $10 profit margin so all these are coming to my house which

I'm then repackaging back up and shipping into FBA where they're gonna

sell and make me money and that's the overall business model in a nutshell I

don't want to look how many outsource on three five Jesus I went crazy on 35 a

lot of products and let's see if it keeps going so that's yeah three six

three seven three eight three nine so you guys get the picture I'm not gonna

waste your time by showing all the expenses I just wanted to show a little

bit yeah well a little bit of the proof because a lot of people try to say that

I won't do this or that this is an illegitimate business model and and the

proof is in the pudding guys there's a million people not a million there's

there's maybe you know twelve thousand people I think in my original retail

arbitrage Pro course all very happily the course I'll flash some reviews up on

the screen right now in the top right so you can see you know some of the happy

feedback on top of that there's about sixty people in the online arbitrage Pro

course right now and like I said guys Mary coupon code Mary there's only three

claim codes left to get at 50% off first link in the description but it's super

super easy and anybody can do it I'm not the only one that does that I teach

people to do it on a day to day basis let's talk about the numbers here in a

second so I got two payouts in and I wrote them down just make sure let me

make sure that these are right we go 129 for the payout 869 55 and 7800 instead

me too that should be 72 72 all right there we go so we have 21 620 1622 bucks

and 8 cents is the two payments total the Amazon paid me out in March 2018

then for commissions and fees that could be anything along the lines these are

expenses guys so I want to talk about the backend of the business model and if

I scoot over a little bit you can see up here I plan on actually creating because

I got a lot of questions on it I plan on creating you know my whole overview of

how I approach this because a lot of people were asking how do you set up the

business bank account how do you make sure that you take out enough for taxes

I plan on talking about that in a couple of days I just haven't got around to it

I want to show you yet another expense video but I will make that video as you

see on the whiteboard behind me we'll talk a little bit more about that but so

I some of my expenses consist of commissions and fees and this is a

template and you know basically it kind of just the ducks and and tallies up and

I give this away at the end of my course for people that are getting into it that

could be like jungle Scouts Chrome extension that could be like you know

literally anything like that software wise that I use for my business it could

also be like you know potential prep centers if you're for contract labor now

I didn't use a prep Center and anybody can do this from anywhere in the in the

entire world if you want to use a prep Center you just simply ordered if the

prep center instead of your house so that would become Amazon and we'll take

house out and we'll write prep center so you just order to a prep center instead

and they're gonna do all of it for you for about 50 cents to a dollar fee per

item so it takes a little bit of your profit margin but it saves you a bunch

of time and you can do it from anywhere in the world and you can still make a

great profit doing it to a prep center so Amazon to a prep Center to FBA same

overall business model now contract labor was a big one I had a lot a lot a

lot of products in FBA and so I didn't I actually was the one that packaged and

resent them back into March but I didn't manage any my listing so I didn't drop

any the price I didn't make sure that I had the buy box on any of the listings I

hired somebody I might have done at the beginning of March but I traveled a lot

of March and I was I think I was moving at the end of February in the beginning

of March so I literally didn't have time to do any of this I simply hired a VA to

manage my listings for me that's the 869 55 ended up being and then I

obviously I saw I was making good money so I think I expensed a bunch of office

things I think I got like a desk I got like a new chair I bought well I

think I'm on a laptop too which is this laptop that I'm talking to you right

here on so I obviously use you know my laptop over there for my e-commerce most

of the time and my home computer but this laptop Amazon paid for and so that

those are the overall main expenses which came to two thousand seven hundred

thirty six dollars and ninety three cents for a grand total net income wise

of eighteen thousand eight hundred and eighty five dollars and fifteen cents so

that's what that's what I made before or that's what I made after the expenses

now you have to talk and factor in your cost of goods now I did lie to you guys

I said that I spent over eight thousand in the last expense video I thought that

for whatever reason I tallied it up and could have sworn that it was like eight

thousand one hundred but i retaliate it up just to make sure that I had it all

right for this video and it is actually only seven thousand eight hundred

seventy two dollars and forty-one cents so it's it's pretty close to eight

thousand that I spent but it didn't go over eight thousand like I said in the

last video so if you factor all that in let's see what I have to pay taxes on

because a lot of people and this is the number one mistake that I see

entrepreneurs making especially with this business model but really with any

business model and this is backers into this business bank account and the taxes

that we're going to talk about next in one of the lecture and one of the

lectures I'm so set on like creating courses that I'm talking about lectures

here and one of the next YouTube videos so let's see what I have to pay taxes on

what might take home money is because I didn't make twenty one hundred I didn't

make twenty one thousand six hundred and sixty two dollars or sixty six hundred

twenty two dollars and eight cents i expense a lot of this so I didn't net

that I didn't even make eight thousand eighteen thousand eight hundred and

eighty five dollars and fifteen cents because I spent seven thousand eight

hundred twenty two dollars and forty-one cents on products to make that so let's

see what I made and let's see let's see what I can actually keep because I have

to pay taxes on that so if we factor all this in eighteen thousand eight hundred

and eighty five dollars and fifteen cents - let's make sure I have that

right yeah and fifteen cents you have - seven thousand eight hundred seventy two

dollars and forty-one cents for a grand total of what I actually

made but I don't get to take this home guys remember that eleven thousand and

twelve dollars and 74 cents is what I made on Amazon after expenses and after

the cost of goods so that's what I made eleven thousand twelve dollars and 74

cents pre-tax cuz this is important lesson you have to pay taxes on that so

whether you want to set up a business magnet counted the Ducks 30 percent

automatically for your taxes we're gonna take a conservative estimate and assume

that you know because it depends from state to state depends from person to

person and different business situation to business situation um and also guys

you don't have to spend eight hundred sixty nine dollars on contract labor you

don't have to drop seventeen hundred on office expenses so you can net more

money if you're smart with it you don't expense that much and obviously you know

seven thousand eight hundred bucks is a lot for your cost of goods but this just

shows you my experience so you get a better feel for the business model and

if you guys like this video to please hit the like button and I plan on going

into April May June July so you can see different expenses and different

examples that I'm using to spend on my business to make more money so let's

take 40% of that out of that eleven thousand twelve dollars and seventy four

cents to make sure that you know what I actually got to take home after taxes

now forty percent is kind of what I'm a conservative end you know sometimes it's

lower and it might even be higher but I'm just gonna assume that I only took

sixty percent of that home so let's multiply that by point six and that

means that I only took home so after taxes I had to pay out a portion of that

in taxes that I made obviously six thousand six hundred and seven dollars

in sixty four cents is my take-home money so still pretty good you know

pretty good penny but I did have to spend seven thousand eight hundred

seventy two dollars to make that initially which is obviously an expense

that you expense from your your overall margin but that's a little bit beyond

the scope of this video so I want to give you guys an overview of the entire

business model I want me to give you a back-end overview of the business model

like I said if you have any questions drop them in the comment section I would

love to answer them for you I plan on going over the actual bank account set

up and how you kind of automate this so you'll have to

worry about it but if you guys want this business template I also give this away

in my course so if any of you are in the course just simply email me and ask for

it if you haven't seen the last lecture that I added on but that's basically you

know what what the backend of the business is that's how much I spent

that's how much I spent on cost of goods these were the other expenses and that's

when Amazon paid me out for that grand total of whatever it was six thousand

six hundred and seven bucks and sixty-four cents and so if you guys want

to do this if you want to learn how to make five to ten grand doing online

arbitrage just like I'm showing you with this business model right here right

from your computer then first link in the description online arbitrage pro

there's only three coupon code three coupon claim codes left at this when I

was starting this lecture I didn't check this morning but at the time of last

night I think at like 11 o'clock there was still three left so I believe that

there's still three left but I'm not 100% sure how many there are left if

there's those three are claimed that's it that's it those are the last claim

code so go ahead take action now guys I'm telling you I'm telling you I'm

telling you there's a lot of money to be made and I honestly cannot buy all the

products so hope you guys like this lecture remember to give it a thumbs up

and I'll see you in the next one so let me

taking that crown from you break it on

taking that crown from you

Custom Home Costs: HOW TO STAY ON BUDGET When Building A New House - Duration: 11:11.

Do you want to keep your custom home project on budget?

I'm going to be sharing seven tips with you to dramatically help you keep your project

on budget.

My name is Kathy Yuen.

I'm an architectural technologist, custom home designer, and founder of Phase One Design.

By the end of this video, you are going to have a solid foundation on how to keep your

custom home costs on track from the very beginning to the very end.

Be sure to subscribe below, so you don't miss any of my future videos, and also don't forget

to comment and let me know what future topics you would like to see on this channel.

Step number one, do your homework.

First off, you need to go out and find out what it is that you actually want.

I know this sounds really obvious, but this is going to go a really long way in understanding

what your costs are.

You need to know what your expectations are that you have for your custom home, so that

you can actually communicate them to the other experts that are going to be helping you put

your budget together.

Just start by making a list.

Here's some items to capture: how many bedrooms?

How many bathrooms?

What other rooms are you looking to have?

Home office, gym, formal dining room, wok kitchen, a craft room, the list goes on.

How many stories would you like your house to be?

Your garage, how big is it?

Is it an attached garage or is it a detached garage?

Then when you have that, start gathering photos of what it is that you expect your house to

look like, both on the inside and on the outside.

Why is this important?

Well, again, we're going to cover this in the next step, but when you're sitting down

with an expert, you are now going to be able to have a solid way to communicate all of

this information to them that is not so arbitrary as just saying, "I would like a 3,000 square

foot home that is modern."

Step two, get a realistic budget range.

Okay, so everybody wants to know, "How much does my custom home cost to the dollar, ideally?"

At this point, it's just totally not realistic to expect that, because you don't have enough

information.

What you want to do is actually get a range, and by range what I mean is you are going

to get a range out there that is a low range and a high range.

So your price for your custom home, and how much your custom home is going to cost, is

going to fall within a low range and a high range.

How do you do that?

You would approach two different experts: a designer and a builder.

So first, a designer.

Why would you need to talk to a designer?

Well, a lot of people actually miss this stuff.

The reason why you want to talk to a designer, is your designer is going to be able to tell

you based on all the homework that you've done in step one, how big of a house that

you actually need square footage wise.

The size of your house very, very closely relates to what the budget is, so you need

to know what that number is square footage wise.

Also, very experienced designers will be able to sit down with you and do a preliminary

costing exercise with you to give you a high level idea of what your budget range should

be.

The second person to talk to is obviously a builder.

A builder is obviously well experienced in custom home costs, and are going to be able

to give you some insight into what your cost for your home will be.

Because this is such a popular topic, I've actually written an entire guide about how

to establish a budget range for your project.

I provided a link down below.

You can download it.

It is called The Step-By-Step Guide to Planning Your Custom Home.

Now, notice I said, "get a realistic budget."

The keyword there is "realistic."

What's going to end up happening, is you're going to go out there, you're going to talk

to a whole bunch of different people, and I promise you, you are going to get a whole

bunch of different numbers.

You know to expect a range, but what happens when you actually have that?

This is a good segue into our next topic.

Step number three, don't just focus on the lowest price.

Unfortunately, this is what I see a lot of.

A homeowner will go out there, and they will get the range of pricing.

They'll get their low and their high, but after that, the only price that they focus

on is the very lowest price, and then they base their entire project on that number.

That, my friends, is definitely not the way to do it.

If for whatever reason you're not comfortable with that low/high range, and you must, must,

must stick to the bottom end of that range, I'm going to give you some advice right now.

I would seriously, seriously consider just taking a step back, and rethinking the scope

of your project.

For example, how big do you want your house?

You're going to have to adjust something in your scope to actually reduce it, or your

budget needs to come up.

Until you've done that, please do not go any further.

I know this isn't what you want to hear me say, but I'd rather say it to you now than

see you run into trouble later on.

You want to always make sure that you're leaving yourself a little bit of wiggle room for sure,

and that you're not always so tight on your budget at the very beginning.

Which takes us to step number four.

Step number four, build in a contingency.

With every custom home project, there should be a contingency.

At the very beginning, start with a large one, as much as 20 to 30%.

As you start firming up your plans and start doing some selections, that contingency can

go down slightly, but make sure you have one to begin with.

Secondly, do not spend that contingency.

During design, I promise you, you are going to be exposed to a lot of shiny things that

you're going to want to put in your design as you surf design magazines, and surf online

design images.

You are going to find all these things, but whatever you do, don't spend your contingency.

It is like your rainy day fund, your backup plan, everything like that.

It is not intended to be spent on your actual project, unless you are really, really comfortable

with your custom home costs, and you feel like you have a lot of wiggle room.

I'm just curious, how much are you going to use for your contingency?

Comment below and let me know.

Step number five, leverage design to keep on budget.

This is one of my favorite tips, and one that is not commonly known.

Did you know that design controls your budget, not the builder?

As your design starts taking shape, that is actually when your budget is going to start

also taking shape.

Your budget is 100% directly related to the design of your house.

You might be thinking, "What?

What are you talking about, Kathy, that doesn't make any sense?"

Which is totally fine.

I've made a video about it, so I provided a link below.

We deep dive into it, and it's all explained, but what you need to know for the purposes

of this step is that you can control your budget through design.

Throughout the design process, you should be making sure that you're having comprehensive

budget conversations both with your designer and your builder.

Again, that emphasizes the reason why you have to work with a designer that understands

how to work with a budget during the design process.

Whatever you do, do not finish your design and then take it to a builder, and then just

cross your fingers and hope that they're going to make the budget work.

I promise you, that very, very rarely works.

Step number six, work with a designer that understands budgets.

From day one, you should be working with a designer that understands budgets.

This is going to go a long, long way for you in keeping your whole custom home costs in

check.

This is a large topic, so I've actually provided a totally different video for this.

The link is below.

Feel free to check it out.

How do you know that your custom home designer knows how to do this?

At the very, very beginning of the process, before you sign a contract with them, they

should be asking you what your budget is, and budget related questions.

This is a great telltale sign that they are going to be mindful of your budget throughout

the process, and also, ask them straight up, "How are you going to help me keep my budget

on track?"

They should be able to answer that question.

Just a super quick side note, another really cool benefit about working with a designer

that understands how to work with budgets, is that those types of designers are going

to understand custom home costs, so what that means is they're going to be able to take

your budget and stretch your dollars as far as possible, and of course, without sacrificing

quality, I'm not saying cutting corners or anything like that, but what I'm saying is

that you as the homeowner are going to get the biggest bang for your buck.

Step seven, start talking to a builder early on.

Start talking to a builder early on in the process so that they can actually help you

during the design process.

They can add to these budget conversations.

It doesn't mean that you have to sign a construction contract at this stage in the game.

Some builders will charge a low fee for this, but it's well worth your investment.

They will be giving you high-quality advice, and many builders will also do intermediate

budgets for you during design, so you can just kind of check in to see where you're

at budget wise.

You can adjust your design higher or lower depending on where that intermediate budget

stands.

Again, if you don't feel comfortable at this stage in the game, you do not need to sign

a construction contract with the builder.

Your commitment to them would only be for that piece of the contract where they're putting

those budgets together for you.

It's kind of like dating before getting married.

Now you know the exact steps for how to keep your custom home project on budget.
