Hubby and I will be married 5 years next month and have been renting a house from my mom. It's a nice little house, but the neighbors are weird. We are to the point that we want to live a short way out in the country and have a place that's ours. We looked at a piece of land that is for sale and we both like it. It would need to be cleared a little and a driveway and a septic system would need to be put in. But it has all the other utilities available. We were thinking of buying the land now, working our butts off to pay it and our vehicles off. Then look into having a manufactured home (that's where the home is built in a warehouse and brought to the property in pieces and put together). My question is, has anyone here had a home built? What were your experiences with it? Everyone tells me it is incredibly stressful and at this point, home/land buying is a touchy subject with us. I will admit that I want everything now and he knows that's not possible. I have a full-time job and can help toward expenses, but I think his main problem is fear of having a 30 year payment responsibility. Should we just forego the idea for now or for good?
