In about a month I will be getting my wings and I am currently weighing all my options. The wifey and I have been looking a lot at the housing markets, and we were wondering whether it would be worth buying a lot and building a house, or just buying something. We have found a lot of really nice houses online in the Cherry Point and Beaufort area for a relatively decent price. I'm originally from SoCal, so I know about the houses around Miramar, and I was able to take a tour of the Yuma area when on det at El Centro. We each like different things about all of the four major duty stations, which is why I don't really have a top preference yet.
Unfortunately, we really haven't seen to many houses online that we like in the Yuma area, which leads me back to the overall question. We kinda toyed with that idea also around Beaufort, but we just aren't sure if it would be worth it. We watch a lot of HGTV, and know what we would like to have in a place of our own. Once actually headed toward a final location, we would definitely settle in with a realtor, who would have better access to houses in our price range with the options we want. Until then, all we have is the scattered sources of the interwebs. Back in my E days, there was a guy in my unit that had built a pretty sweet place in Yuma, with a very low price tag, and we have definitely thought about it.
I was wondering if anyone here has built, or knows someone that has built, their own place, specifically around Cherry Point or Yuma. A 4 bedroom, 2000 sqft house on a good sized lot is what we had in mind. Also, if anyone knows any websites that might be able to provide homebuilding info, we would be very appreciative.
Thank you much!
