Building Your Home w/o A Mortgage

[Kluge]

Start building it and don't look back. But if you are in a high property tax area I would suggest building it with camouflage in mind. A friend of mine lives in a barn/home and he saves thousands every year. Our homes are close to the same square footage but I pay over three times what he pays - we're in the same county and out of the nearest city limits by 3-4 miles.

That's absolutely great! The outside could look like a crappy barn, and the inside could be like a mansion.

I re-did the exterior of the house I'm selling, and the city came along and valued it higher than I'm selling it for. 8/
