    Sledge, after reading many of your old threads and the responses here, my recommendation would be to look for land first and a home second. If you find the land you want, build the core of a house you want to live in and then build the rest of your home as finances and time allow. You can also buy a pre fab home to place on the property. If you buy a fixer upper, take your time as you remodel. Sometimes it is better to level the original home and start from scratch.

    Our ranch was purchased for less than $ 100,000 within the last ten years. It includes four bedrooms, two baths, 50 acres, a 50 x 100 shed, a 20 x 30 shop, and two grain bins. In addition we purchased two quarters of land separately. We are in the process of upgrading the home and property. We looked into all options and decided I could remodel this home instead of removing the structure. The blue prints have been competed and the materials are purchased when they go on sale. Needless to say our shop is full of plumbing, electrical, and structural materials. When the present project ends, the remodel will be in full speed.

    The lesson is to think outside the box. Many of us have tunnel vision and cannot find other options. Knowledge of the east is limited, but it assumed you can find a niche or crack in the market to create your dream home. Good luck.
