We are building a house right now on land we own out right, we are taking a mortgage out on the build but our mortgage payment will be less than we are currently paying in rent. And way less that current rent prices. I got sticker shot recently when looking at what it cost to rent a 3 bedroom home in my area now.

Outright ownership of land would certainly be a safe investment over any considerable period of time. If you've researched and have a mortgage at a lower price than renting, you're being quite financially responsible.
I am pretty cheap @drewkin actually it isn't that I am really cheap I am just frugal. Rent currently in the area where we live for a 3 bedroom is $800-$1000 a month our mortgage will be around $600, the house we are renting right now that we have to move from soon we are renting for $675 so it is a no brainer to build on our land.
