I totally agree.I was trying to buy a yurt-no lenders.Construction loan on yurt-forget it.To insure-you are lucky to find the company and the premium wouldn't be reasonable.Permitting is very questionable.Technically possible.But I know the family who failed.And the one for sale was permitted as "other" (not residential).
In two words,putting a yurt is not much cheaper as to build the same size house,and with bigger insurance premiums in the long run could be the same.
But if you have friends to set a yurt together and your subdivision doesn't care about unpermitted structures it might make sense.
If you still decide to go for a yurt,talk to professional project managers who will spare you a lot of headache.
Talk to Kapohocat.She is a well respected member on this forum.And I heard she is very effective and reasonable.
