I need information on building a house.. loans and tips.? Me and my husband are currently in the market for a house. We found 2-3 we loved, the first we couldn't even make an offer because it needed to much work we couldn't afford, the second we liked but the location and price were iffy so we didn't make an offer and the third we made an offer and it looks like it is about to fall through because it needs work done to it before the bank will approve it and I doubt the current owner will do what needs to be done. We have been talking and wanted to get some information on "building" a home. My parents own alot of lots and would be willing to give us one as a gift to build a house on. I have a few questions though.. is it better to build your own house or look for months for the perfect house? We can only afford a house around 35,000 to 45,000 and all we are finding in that price range are old homes that have more wrong that right or small houses we hate. I know with building a house we couldn't be to picky, but I know you can pick out some of the things you want.. would it be possible to build a reasonable house in our price range? Also about money, we would need to borrow money to be able to build the house.. how does that work? Is it a home loan like we were already preapproved for or is it another loan? Is it harder to get than the home loan? (Like credit score wise.. we have a "fair" score of about 630 I believe, but we did get preapproved for 40,000 or a little higher home loan) An information or links to websites to answer my questions would be appreciated. Thanks!

How to plan and calculate loan for building a home? I recently paid my car off and I have good credit. Not the best score, but good. I have some money saved up and live on good size farm, but I don't want to sell my land that I lease out. Plus I do have a full time job and get some money monthly for rental property--little income there. My current home is paid off--inherited and I plan to rent it out as well. I want to build a home on my farm. I am just not sure of the how to go about calculating and knowing the interest rate and all that and to know if my down payment would be adequate. Sorry, but I am clueless to this process. I tried doing an online mortage calculator, but then at the end, I had to give information to get different lender's offers. I really just want to do this myself to get an idea. Do I have to go to my bank first or is there a way to do this without contacting them first and not giving personal information to other lenders online? I think I would want a fixed rate, but I don't know the interest rates.

I need advise and as much information as possible on this please, I am thinking about building my own house? I would like to buy a 2-3 bed house but when I use the morgage calculators, inputing the cost of the property, ie, £65,000, the amount that the bank would lend is 25% to 85% which obviously does not give me enough to pay for the property. I have no savings to pay what the bank does not lend, plus on top of that, the monthly repayments over 25yrs is roughly what I earn per month. I have thought about another way of owning a house which is building my own house which I assum would be a lot cheaper. I would need land first, I know, but as soon as I buy the land I would need a builder because I cant build a house. Does anyone know of a good building company that builds your home with a set price, which all fees charges are included in the price. This house I hope to get built would be for me and my family, not for renting.
How do I get information about the home I live in, year built.etc...? Basically looking for year built, lot size.etc... in Michigan
