Homeownership is the foundationof theAmerican Dream, and in today’s do-it-yourself culture where how-to advice forjust about anything can be found on theinternet, many people think they couldsavea lotofmoneybybuilding theirownhome. But your home is likely the singlelargest investment youwillmake in yourlifetime,andnothiringaprofessionalhomebuildercouldbeacostlymistakeformanyreasons—financial,emotional,andphysical.Getting financing is an important

consideration.Asa self-contractor, lendershave strict guidelines and limits on howmuchmoney theywill give you, and theywill require thatyouprovidehouseplans,specifications and an itemized list ofdocumentedcostsandbidsbeforehand.Even if you feel that you have enough

cash todo the job, it iswise togeta loanto cover material or labor cost increases,upgrades or material overruns. Manymortgagecompanieswillnotlendmoneytocoverunanticipatedcostsonahomewhenconstructionhasalreadybegun.Thereisahugeamountofbookkeepingif

Building your own home is a riskyproposition from a legal standpoint,as well. Home builders carry Builder’sRisk, General Liability and Workman’sCompensation insuranceon theirbuildingprojects.Asaself-contractor,youwillhaveto assume most, if not all, of the sameliabilities.Youmaywanttoconsultwithanattorneyregardingpotentialliabilityissues,and with an insurance agent concerningappropriateinsurancecoverage.Home builders have staff to take care

of all the details of building a home, andestablished relationships with otherprofessionals tocompletethe job,which iswhytheycanbuildahomeinarelativelyquicktimeframe.Tobuildanaverage1,500sq. ft. home, you need to be prepared tospendatleast35hoursperweekforatleastfive or sixmonths, andmost people don’thave jobswith thatkindofflexibility.Youwill also need the time to determine andorderthematerials,evaluatebids,andhireand schedule qualified, licensed, insuredand/orcertifiedsubcontractors.Finally,ifyousellthehomeyou’vebuilt,
