We may have the opportunity to move to a new state in 2022. Looking at real estate in the area where we would move, nothing has us excited - and we're sick of living in suburbs - so we're considering buying land and building. We wouldn't be able to afford a true homestead, but could get at least 1-2 acres.

Has anyone here bought a plot and built a house before? Any pitfalls to look out for? Would you build again or buy in the future?

Glad I saw saw this here. I do network cabling jobs for people and I can vouch for the conduits for your wiring. I have seen so many wires passed through tiny holes and pushed through insulation or even spray foamed into place. Makes any sort of upgrade or repair impossible without ripping apart the whole wall.
