Where are you/how old/how much money did you save up to do that?
I’ve been working only about 4 years and don’t have that kind of capital saved yet, want to set realistic goals and see if and when that’d be possible for me.
- throwaway35784 7y agoI bought land for $60,000. I plan to spend $100,000 on materials, utilities, fees etc and construct it myself. I want to start a revolution and want to enable people to escape the system for what is a typical down payment in most large cities today. I was facing that choice myself: build or buy. I can do either with what I have and after much consideration, the only moral choice I can accept for myself is to build. I feel very fortunate that I have that choice. I know others don't and so now my life mission is to bring that choice to more people and in doing so fight what I believe is causing harm to our society: the banks.
- dragosmocrii 7y agoIn some cities if you buy land, you have to build on it within a limited timeframe.
- throwaway35784 7y agoI'm not familiar with any rules like that from the city but my neighborhood rules say I have 8 months to complete building the exterior portion of the house. There's a lot of land for sale outside cities as well with few and sometimes no restrictions even beyond time limits. Community covenants can be quite restrictive in some areas yes.
