We live in rural Baker County, west of Jacksonville, FL. We own 3
acres with a 1200 sq.ft. double wide (1996 model Redman), worth about
$110 K, mortgage balance $55K, land & home together are one
mortgage.

We are looking into the possibility of building a "real" house,
something in the 1800 to 2200 sq. ft. range. We are open to many
options: ICF, SIP's, stick built, modular, etc. The problem is, we
are having a hard time learning what the going rate per square foot is
for construction in this neck of the woods. We would consider working
with a home builder or possibly contracting ourselves.

We welcome any comments or feedback to help us to make an intelligent
choice.

You're bound to have a buddy who's a real estate agent. Tell him you'll
take him to lunch if he'll answer some questions.
