) Get the loan financing.
Before you get too deep in plans or building lots Wholesale Portland Trail Blazers Jerseys , its important you know how much log home you can afford. Try to pay all bills on time for a few months before you apply for the loan, just to shore up your credit rating.

What's a ballpark cost for a log home?

This way you can get started on your log home dream for just $30,000. Plus, you'll be building equity for free and have a getaway spot whenever your log home is not rented.
