Q: Can any house be called a cottage?

• <div><p>The term &ldquo;cottage&rdquo; is subjective, so there&rsquo;s no rigid definition, but it generally refers to a small home with simple and purposeful architecture that embraces nature and focuses on charm over everything else. Cottages are typically 1 or 1 1/2-stories tall, usually with gabled roofs, and are built out of natural materials that help make the structure a part of the surrounding nature rather than something that stands out from it. A big part of what makes a cottage a cottage is the decor, which includes natural materials from the nearby area.</p></div>

Q: What is the most affordable house to build per square foot?

• <div><p>Ranch and <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-colonial-style-house.htm">colonial-style homes</a> are often the most affordable to build. They have a common layout with available designs that are easy to adjust in simple ways without having to spend too much on a structural engineer or architect. Both types of homes' symmetry, simple roofs, and often one or two-story plans mean they often fall in the $150 to $200 square-foot range, putting them right around average. </p></div>

Q: How do I finance a house teardown and rebuild?

• <div><p>A construction-to-permanent loan is the most common type of mortgage used to finance a house teardown and rebuild. These loans include financing for construction costs and convert to a long-term mortgage once construction is complete. Check the terms of the loan closely before beginning work&mdash;there are often restrictions requiring you to use licensed contractors for all work. </p></div>
