Hey guys, I needed some advice on new construction here in NJ.Me & my wife want to purchase a second home as our primary home but prices on houses are super over priced and just not worth it especially with inventory being so low & the market just all twisted.My thought was to maybe pick the town I want to live in and potentially see if I can get vacant land to build on obviously.I wonder if maybe it will cheaper to do this strategy instead of getting a loan for 600-700K home that still needs work and I’m not happy about it..thoughts?
