Care to elaborate? This may be true in Pennsylvania, but in areas like Bergen Country and Orange County, the prices of homes are through the roof. If I can purchase land for 150K and build a home for 150K, I believe that this would be a cheaper alternative.
Thank you for all the responses so far. Does anyone have any details regarding loans? Would I need to take two separate loans for the land and house, or could I just take one loan for all the combined costs? How does PMI and 20% downpayment work in this situation?
