The point is, hot-dipped galvanized nails will do the job for 99% of the houses out there. I'd only specify stainless roofing nails if I lived at or close to the ocean. Hot-dipped galvanized nails can last well over 100 years in non-oceanic climates.he point is, hot-dipped galvanized nails will do the job for 99% of the houses out there.

Costs more to build out. As you said, there are all kinds of other factors, but the same square footage in two stories will cost less to build than in one. Most homes with traditional foundations can sustain a second floor addition without additional support.
This is a fee that you pay to the bank (it can usually be added onto your loan) and pays their insurance for taking a bigger risk on your loan. For the low cost of $165,000 (or around $200,000 if you are looking to add some extra features) you can build a brand new home on your block of land. Obviously, the more luxurious your home the more expensive it will become. That cost of $165,000 is really a base-line price for a basic home. The majority of 4 bedroom homes we looked at ranged from $200,000 to $300,000 (plus site costs) and the two story homes were in the higher price bracket (around $300,000).
