[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 477012, member: 13254"] What you've been told so far is pretty good advice. I question the "building because her father is a carpenter" thought. Unless you or your paw-in-law are prepared to act as the building contractor and doing much of the work yourselves, I can't see how his being a carpenter is much help. The price you pay for materials to build a house are as high now as they were before the economy started to tank. Only with much cheaper labor can you build a house at a lower $ per square foot price. If this is your first house, I would suggest buying something you could live in for many years but would be willing to leave if you find something more suitable in a few years. Start small (cheap) and work your way up. Whatever you do stay away for adjustable rate mortgages. [/QUOTE]
