@Benjamin Allen- "Detroit" and "Metro Detroit" are very different animals, but both have good and bad areas to invest in.  

@Benjamin BlackburnHey Benjamin, yes it definitely seems to be the way to go.

It'll take a few decades to recoup those savings, but I hope to hand this farm off to my kids one day.For all of the people interested in the figures, here are some of our breakdown of costs:Electrical rough in and finish for 2800 sqft living area + 1600 sqft basement = $12,430Rough plumbing for 2800 sqft living area = $5,000Mechanicals (8 LG ductless minisplits with 4 ton condenser) = $15,500ERV (ventilation) = $1100 + labor (TBD)LP Smartside lap siding + Benjamin Moore Aura paint + cedar tongue and groove 1x6 STK + Sikkens Cetol stain to cover roughly 3400 sqft = ~$11,000 (materials only)Here some more pictures:We still have to install the battens to cover the seams, which should add a nice shadow effect.  

@Benjamin C.thanks for the explanation.
