Considering I work at menards I've priced out quite a few houses and I know 80k will be plenty to build 15 to 1700 ish sqft 3 bd 2 bath 2 car garage type home. Good luck dave and keep us updated on the house project too! I don't know about where you are but its cheaper to own pay a house payment /month than rent fvckin college town................
Yeah my rent blows here, I don't want to discuss what it costs here, but its more than a damn mortgage for sure....even after escrow in some cases.
