About how much would it cost to take the layout of a double wide trailer and build a home with standard house building materials?
I own 0.8 acres of land in the city suburb. Was going to buy a Clayton double wide for $68K to put on it but the city doesn't allow manufactured homes.
What are my options now? I don't have much money and buying a log cabin kit would look funny in a city suburb. Is there anything I can do with the land to make extra money to save to build a real house? I only have ~$110K.
Live in a van faggot
Not really. Log cabin kits usually cost about 3x what the price is to put together so that wouldn't work.
I'd live in a van or make a tiny home on a trailer so the city couldn't bitch.

Where I live $110k would build you a nice 2-3 bedroom home with a garage if you already own the land. If, for some reason, that is not enough just build a 'mother in law' unit and garage first.
I've seen some very nice 2 car garages with a one bedroom on top. Or, if you have the space, you can do a garage with the unit on the side. Either way, you can live there until you save up more money to build 'the house' and then rent out the other unit.

You could build something nice with $110k, but you'd have to do most of the labor yourself.

Second on the 2 car garage with living above. I actually worked on one of those it was pretty cool. You can probably get a package deal from a home depot type store where they precut all the pieces for the build and drop it off.

OP here.
I was thinking of this.
I want a 3 bed 2.5 bath with a pole barn to keep all my fishing gear, /diy/, and home gym. I could easily build the pole barn first. Have electric and plumbing run to it and live out of it until I can build a home.
Should I go with a pole barn though or build a 2 car garage with attic apartment?
