$300000 for labour + 100000 materials -50000 for assictance = way more than 72000.

I'd rent.
I guess you guys just don't realize what it is like here. There is a HUGE housing demand. Most people here are classified by the government as homeless because there are not enough houses for everyone. Most houses have 8 people living in like a two bedroom place.

Finding someone to take the house when I go is not the issue. I am more looking for advice on building vs pre built homes more so than advice on whether to buy or not.
