"If only EssExTee could be so grossly incandescent" (essextee)

I’ve made a decision but I have yet to tell anyone in my personal life, you weirdos are hearing about it first.

I’m going to apply for a land grant in my county. It might be a 3-5 year wait but eventually I could be deeded a small plot of land, probably around a quarter acre. I could then have my very own house built.

I have exceptional credit and am in good standing with my bank. I feel like I have good odds to get a decent home loan with a good interest rate. The payments would end up being like an average mortgage payment, which is totally doable for me.

I could go cheap prefab, or even just get some plans drawn up and have it built . My mom’s closest friend is a contractor who built his own home, and I’m sure he’d give me a break on labor.

It wouldn’t be anything fancy but this seems like a good way into home ownership for someone like m who would otherwise never be able to save up for a down payment.

Weird question, but have you ever considered a Tiny House?

I think if I was living by myself I would be perfectly happy in one (until of course I found a girlfriend and got married and had kids and all that stuff), but otherwise...small little living space of my own, interesting design, inexpensive, and loads of space left on the property for a large garage for a collection of weird cars. :P

The Vine yard just gives away land?

It’s a program for residentd aimed to combat the housing crisis here. Year-round housing is hard to find, because why would you rent your house to a nice family when you can rent it out for $3-4k per WEEK to summer tourists. Even a single bedroom condo can sell for $200k. It’s not uncommon for entire families to have to move every year because their landlord won’t renew the lease come springtime to take advantage of seasonal renters

Weirder question: have you ever considered building a garage with an apartment attached to it?

Very cool idea. And I like your plans, through by “sunroom”, you really mean family room, right? Because a sunroom to me is basically a glassed in porch, and the size of the room labeled living room is tiny.

Oh no that's just a random google image. I don't have any plans yet

Yup, though that would be more costly I think!
