I was reading on the "build what you can afford" thread, and it got me thinking...
We plan on buying a lot with a house on it, trees to build with, and a location we like. I retired at the ripe old age of 25 (USMC [ 2 bad knees and a back that ain't the best]). I have a wife and two daughters, so we need a home for the intermediate times. The house I plan on building is something like 2,700 sqft footprint. All single story, no basement, and as few stairs as possible. 3 bed, 2 bath, large kitchen/living room, 7 rooms total. Am I aiming too high? We live off of my paychecks, but being young, the savings ain't that big. I'd like to do a thirty year mortgage, and change it to a 15 after we get the house built (5-8 years).
Does that seem reasonable? Am I shooting too high?
