Book excerpt: The purchase of a house is the single largest investment we are likely to make in our lifetime. It is also a decision that we should make only after studying and comparing houses that we are considering purchasing. The decision to purchase a house is a decision we should not take likely. The average homeowner should not expect to be an expert in plumbing, electricity, framing, and the other disciplines required to build a home. But I believe that everyone can come to a reasonable understanding on the elements of home construction and the relative quality of construction materials with a minimal investment of time. Armed with this information you can approach the process of home buying with greater knowledge and confidence.

Whether you long for a rural pastoral view with no neighbors in sight or you’re more interested in choosing a lot on a cul-de-sac, there are things to consider when buying land to build a house.
