Buildig a Home in Cenrtal Florida
My wife and I have just sgned the contract to begin building in the central florida area. We currently live in Alaska, The seller is paying 6% of our closing costs and the builder has waived the deposit on the pool we are adding. The home should be completed in 4-5 months. 2000 sq ft, 2 car garge, 4 bed, 2 bath, $184,900. We made some basic upgrades so so the price has increased a bit from the starting point, but from the deal we got, I think it is a great time to build a home! We only had to come up with $6650.00 for the down payment. We used an FHA Loan since we are first time homebuyers. We did have to use the builders mortgage company that they work with, but that didn't matter to me.
