I am looking at 1 acre of land with a well and a septic already installed. The lot is cleared and pretty much buildable. The market is in the Berkshires in MA between Great Barrington and Catamount ski area. I want to buy it and build a prefab home 3/2 around 2k sq ft. I was told it's about $250 /sqft around $500k plus $50k for the garage(2car). I have about $80k in a HELOC on my current home where I live. I have excellent credit. The sold comps are around $875K-1M. The comps were under contract in 15-30days. What are my best loan options?

We're located in Great Barrington, MA and we are rookies getting into REI. We've been in Solar for the last 20 years and are just getting started in the rental market long term and maybe short term. We're flexible. We are thinking long distance out of state maybe Saratoga Springs, Lake George. Possibly Fort Collins, CO
