Barndominium vs Traditional Home: Which is the Better Investment?

Apr 17

Deciding between a barndominium and a traditional home can be a tough decision, especially when it comes to the investment value of each. While both options have their pros and cons, here are some factors to consider when deciding which one is the better investment.

Cost: One of the biggest advantages of building a barndominium is the cost savings compared to traditional homes. Barndominiums typically have lower construction costs due to their simpler design and use of affordable building materials. This can translate into significant savings in the long run.

Maintenance: Traditional homes often require more maintenance than barndominiums due to their larger size and more complex design. This can result in higher costs for repairs and upkeep over time.

Customization: Barndominiums are highly customizable, allowing you to create a unique and personalized living space. Traditional homes, on the other hand, may have more restrictions on customization due to zoning laws and homeowners associations.

Energy efficiency: Barndominiums can be more energy-efficient than traditional homes due to their use of metal framing and other sustainable building materials. This can lead to lower energy bills and long-term savings.

Ultimately, the decision between a barndominium and a traditional home comes down to your personal preferences and goals. If cost savings, customization, and energy efficiency are important to you, a barndominium may be the better investment. However, if resale value and traditional design are your priorities, a traditional home may be a better choice.

Being creative is at my core what makes me, me. I started off my career as a national touring artist that played in a country band. We played on average 180 shows a year for five years throughout the United States and Bahamas. In 2006 signed with a label in Nashville, released a few singles, got featured in some magazines (both national print magazines as well as online publications) and in 2013 my single “Stomp” was picked up and featured as The Pittsburgh Steelers game song. On November 17th 2013, one of my dreams came true as I sang The National Anthem and performed my single “Stomp” on the 50 yard line for a crowd of 50,000 plus people at Heinz Field for The Steelers vs Lions game.

While I was on the road touring in 2008 I started a digital marketing business to help other artists out called Nocturnal Music Group. I primarily focused on social campaigns for musicians and bands, driving traffic to their sites but quickly found myself getting into areas that did not involve music and also being contacted for web design as well.

I fell into photography by chance due to a client needing photos and no one being available to do it. After that I was hooked and have been shooting ever since. I’ve shot artists and bands, weddings and engagements, maternity and new borns, models, products and everything in between. I’ve also been featured in magazines both domestic and in 2020 I became an internationally published photographer.
