Hello I am interested in buying a house around Olympia, Lacey area and see how the houses are damn expensive. I was wondering whether it be a better idea to buy lots of land and put a prefab home there that could be lot cheaper than buying a house with a very small lot. Would like some feedback and some things I should know or consider before making next move. I am approved for like 250-350k so I want to do a good investment. Thanks in advance.

I’d assume your idea is slightly cheaper but I always thought the largest expense is the land price to begin with.
EDIT: OP, as others say, land prep can cost way too much. I’d add reaching out to your local architect to do a preliminary feasibility study before you even buy a plot.
