re: Home construction cost

For 270K ($150 sft) you could likely build a home with modest finsihes. Vinyl tile floors with limited millwork and basic cabinetry.
At $210,000 the house would likely be very basic but doable.
We built for $198 per sft (2861 sft). It has almost everything. This was also during the lumber price hikes.

6.7% was the best I've been quoted so far

Absolutely. Everyone knows best what works for them. I guess in my mind if you did a lot yourself you could save plus you’d justify “apartment grade” finishes in there knowing you’d build later. But that’s not everyone’s plan.

Some places with do a construction loan, then roll into a conventional mortgage. You have to check, some you can lock in 60-90 days before finish.

Idk, maybe. I really don’t care about the house I just want to get on the 8 acres my kids stay outside all day anyway.
We sound similar. Splurge on the things you enjoy (porch, etc) and go simple in the areas where you shite, sleep, and watch tv.
