Searching for a way to afford a yurt...

[mackiesyd]

My husband and I both have good paying jobs. Or maybe I don't make as much as him but we work our butts off! Ive been researching living in a yurt full time. We don't think we have good enough credit to get a mortgage on a regular house with my abusive ex husband's taking advantage of me and my husbands father stealing his identitity. To say the least we have had it rough. We have been working hard for years and have fixed most of our credit but I still don't think buying a house would be a possibility for us. Now that Ive done the research I want to live in a yurt anyway! We have tried seeking out opportunities such as habitat housing but your working so so hard and then have to pay full price on the house anyway and then you have a mortgage still. We don't mind having a mortgage but its such a pain working so hard to not have a life. We don't have time for anything of quality that way and sick of paying thousands per month to rent in our area. We have found land we can use forever and want to build a yurt with a loft. With 2 kids and a 3rd on the way we need the biggest possible yurt. We also live in a super cold climate. We are willing to work hard and customize our yurt. We want to get the yurt and work hard from there to make it work for us. Obtaining a big enough yurt with little money up front seams quite impossible. Here are my questions:


How does one afford to buy a yurt without financing?

Is there a financing option for yurts?

Are there any individuals that sell used yurts who would facilitize a payment plan?


ANY INFO AT ALL WILL BE HELPFUL AND NOT JUST IN RESPONSE TO MY QUESTIONS BUT INFORMATION HELPING WITH ANY PART OF MY SITUATION WOULD BE SO GREAT. IM SO HAPPY TO FIND THIS FORUM.
