Building Home Questions

[Rico]

Esther, right now seems to be a buyer's market in real estate. Why not see if you can find a home, that isn't all that old, to buy? It seems to me that building a home can be a serious pain in the you know where.

the hardest part about building is the cost to build really isn't known until it is finished.It always cost more than budgeted and you have to wait.

My parents retired and I owner built for them but if you use a contractor it usally cost the same as buying one already built.

But it is the one you wanted.

If you can find one already built and it is 75% of what you want go for it.

I am buildinging mine now and from the time I sold my house (2yrs ago) until now I am 100,000 over budget.
