Which section of Builds and Buys is right for me?
Choose our Build section if you’re planning to construct a new home, renovation project, or custom property. This path guides you through planning, design, permits, contractor selection, and construction management. Choose our Buy section if you’re looking to purchase an existing property, with guidance on financing, property selection, making offers, inspections, and closing. Choose our Sell section if you’re preparing to sell your property and want to maximize your sale price through professional preparation, pricing strategy, marketing, and negotiation. Choose our Invest section if your primary goal is wealth-building through real estate, with resources for analyzing investment properties, understanding ROI, managing rentals, or flipping homes. Choose our Renovation section if you’re planning any remodeling projects and need detailed cost guides covering kitchens, bathrooms, roofing, HVAC, and 600+ other renovation types. Many users find value in multiple sections—for example, if you’re buying a fixer-upper to renovate and flip, the Buy, Renovation, and Invest sections will all be helpful for different phases of your journey.
How does the step-by-step guide work?
Our step-by-step guides break down complex real estate processes into manageable, sequential tasks. Each step contains detailed instructions, tips, resource links, and actionable items to complete. You can track your progress through our personalized dashboard, which shows completed tasks and upcoming milestones. The system is flexible—if you’ve already completed certain steps, you can mark them as finished or skip ahead. Each guide is designed by industry experts to ensure you don’t miss critical details or make common mistakes during your real estate journey. Our platform integrates tools like calculators and professional directories directly into relevant steps, providing everything you need exactly when you need it.
What tools and resources are available on the platform?
Builds and Buys offers comprehensive tools to support every stage of your real estate journey. Our calculators include affordability calculators to determine your budget, mortgage calculators to estimate payments, investment calculators to analyze potential returns, and renovation cost estimators for planning projects. We provide a profile system to track your progress, a task menu to manage your to-dos, and a dashboard for an overview of your project. Our Real Estate feed connects you with other users and professionals for advice and shared experiences. Additional resources include 600+ renovation cost guides with real 2025 pricing, design galleries for inspiration, regularly updated market news, state-by-state and country-by-country investment guides, and verified professional directories for when you need expert assistance. These tools are integrated into our step-by-step guides but are also available independently for specific needs.
How do I find and connect with real estate professionals?
Our platform features directories of verified real estate professionals including agents, builders, contractors, architects, inspectors, attorneys, and investment advisors. You can search for professionals based on location, specialty, ratings, and experience level. Each professional profile includes credentials, portfolio examples, client reviews, and direct contact options. Through our Real Estate feed, you can also see which professionals other users recommend or work with frequently. For additional security, professionals displaying the “Verified” badge have undergone our vetting process to confirm their credentials and track record. The “Get Verified” option in our navigation menu explains how professionals can join our network and how users can verify their own identity for increased platform access.
Is Builds and Buys suitable for beginners in real estate?
Absolutely—our platform is specifically designed to support users at all experience levels, including complete beginners. Our step-by-step guides break down complex processes into manageable tasks with clear explanations that avoid industry jargon. For first-timers, we provide additional educational resources at each step to build your knowledge base. Our calculators help demystify financial aspects of real estate with user-friendly interfaces and explanations of key terms. Our 144-lesson Real Estate Mastery Course provides university-level education covering everything from fundamentals through advanced investment strategies. The Real Estate feed offers a supportive community where beginners can ask questions without judgment. Even experienced users appreciate our structured approach for ensuring no important details are overlooked during their projects.
How can I track my progress across multiple real estate projects?
Your personalized dashboard serves as the central hub for tracking all your real estate projects. You can manage multiple properties or projects simultaneously, with separate progress trackers for each. Our task menu organizes your to-dos by project, priority, and deadline, helping you stay on top of everything. The system allows you to upload and store important documents like contracts and permits for each project. Progress metrics visually display how far you’ve come in each step-by-step guide. You can also set milestone reminders for important dates like inspection appointments or closing deadlines. All your activity syncs across devices, so you can check progress or complete tasks from anywhere.
How accurate are the renovation cost guides?
Our 600+ renovation cost guides are updated regularly with real 2025 pricing data from contractors, suppliers, and completed projects across different regions. Each guide includes cost ranges (low, mid, high) to account for material quality, regional differences, and project complexity. We break down costs by materials, labor, permits, and additional expenses so you understand exactly where money goes. The guides include ROI analysis showing which renovations add the most value to your property. We also provide contractor connection tools so you can get actual quotes for your specific project. While costs vary by location and circumstances, our guides give you reliable baseline numbers for budgeting and planning any renovation project.
What makes Builds and Buys different from other real estate platforms?
Unlike most platforms that focus on just one aspect of real estate (like property listings or contractor directories), Builds and Buys provides end-to-end support across building, buying, selling, investing, and renovating. Our step-by-step approach offers structured guidance rather than just information, helping you take concrete action. We integrate practical tools, educational resources, professional connections, and a comprehensive university-level course into a single ecosystem that grows with you. Our Real Estate feed creates a community of shared knowledge rather than just transactions. The platform is designed to empower users with both the knowledge and connections needed for success, whether you’re a first-time homebuyer, selling your property for maximum profit, planning renovations, or building a real estate investment portfolio. We help you act with confidence through every step of your real estate journey.
How current is the market information and news provided?
We update our market information, interest rates, and real estate news daily. Our content team curates articles from trusted sources while also producing original analysis of market trends. The platform features region-specific information to ensure relevance to your local market conditions through our state-by-state US guides, Canadian province guides, and country-by-country guides covering 198 nations. In addition to general market news, we provide specialized content for builders, buyers, sellers, investors, and renovators. Our calculators automatically incorporate the latest interest rate data and market conditions. For deeper insights, our blog sections offer detailed perspectives from industry experts on current and emerging trends.
