With today's housing prices, it would be cheaper to just buy a very large shed and live in it. | |

It would be just cheaper to build a HUGE barn and partition it out into rooms and live in that. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 56945196 In the UK you cant build shit.... but yes would do barn conversion .. yes yes. Very popular in uk, and actually seen as very sophisticated |

Maiya It's kind of fun to do the impossible. User ID: 69614778 United States 04/13/2019 12:34 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I bought a single wide trailer in 2015 for cash. 58 grand. Every one laughed at me. I put in new AC, new roof, new carpet and appliances. The idiots are not laughing anymore, as i have no mortgage and pay $578 a year in taxes. I put about 7 grand into it. I got a roof over my head for cheap. They never thought she would lose. Now they all lose. |

Crypto-Tard User ID: 77372940 United States 04/13/2019 12:39 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I live in a metal quonset hut style barn and it's great. The big additions this year are grid power and a large 10 x 12 foot glass window garage door. It's really nice. When you are afraid of losing your life, you have already lost your life.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77554058 United States 04/13/2019 02:51 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Land + shed + zoning + tax + inspection = cost of house with equal square footage Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77487007 Yep. When the housing prices go back down again you can get a 3 or 4 bedroom house for around 100k as long as its not in a big city. Yes it might need some work on it, but it's a much better deal than starting with nothing but bare land. |
Grey Eagle User ID: 74652251 United States 04/13/2019 03:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Homes are expensive due to FRB-inflation n because governments WANT homes to be as expensive as possible. So they can get/justify higher bldg permit fees and higher property taxes... And because humans are increasing in population but the Earth's landmass ISN'T also increasing. Supply and demand... :fireplace: "Remember when we used to treat colds and flu with chicken soup, saltwater gargles and warm tea instead of Communism?" |
Grey Eagle User ID: 74652251 United States 04/13/2019 03:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | All you need is 4 walls around you and a roof and floor. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 56945196 You can put all that together for LESS than 8K! But the authorities will condemn it with a sheriff's eviction. Maybe in Mexico or South America you can do that... :fireplace: "Remember when we used to treat colds and flu with chicken soup, saltwater gargles and warm tea instead of Communism?" |
Wondering Mind User ID: 73265267 United States 04/13/2019 03:29 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Who in their right mind would go into debt over 100K for a house the rest of their lives! Most people will never even pay the loan off before they die! Quoting: Anonymous Coward 56945196 It all depends on what interest rate your loan is set on and how many months in the length the loan is set on. Getting a loan on a longer time amount and lesser interest rate allows lesser payments set for longer time financed. So paying extra principal payments after making each regular scheduled payment from the get go, adds up to lesser amount of time to pay it off. You can throw in there larger sums of extra principal every time you get any larger sums of money and it shaves off more as well. Making a down payment lowers it as well. It all depends on credit score, interest rates on fixed loan never a fluctuating interest rate loan that can change with the change of interest rates to higher and run some time like that costing you less paid to your principal balance. Your age when you take out the loan governs your payment options as well, the older you are the lesser time to work with the extra principal payments means the higher extra principal payments you would have to pay. I would not buy a home that high unless I had a large down payment of at least $70-80 thousand or more. Too risky at my age.

I purchased a 1986 model for just 5k and put on new siding, roof, hardwood floors, new tiled bathrooms, and new kitchen for about 15k and now have a little doll house. |
