I am absolutely obsessed with this new trend of barndominiums that seems to be sweeping the nation. I have been trying to save money to invest in rental property and I think "barndo's" is the way to go! With this audiobook, you will learn all there is to know about how to get moving on building your dream home. The book covers the myths and compares the advantages of owning a bardominium versus a traditional home, and how to plan, budget, design, and build your very own bardominium. What I really loved was the chapters that cover interior and exterior design ideas by even covering different designs covering each room. Financing a concern? Worry not. Chapter 5 covers all the financing aspects to get you rolling. This is a very well put together audiobook, and I am excited to get going on my own bardominimum.

Absolutely Loved This!
