It may also need to be adjusted according to your time frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Budget\nfactors will include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u2022&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Costs\nof the land or lot<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u2022&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Costs\nof construction<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u2022&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Design\nand engineering fees<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u2022&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Landscaping\ncosts<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u2022&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Real\nestate and closing fees<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u2022&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Miscellaneous\nexpenses<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Since\nmost homeowners will finance their custom home purchase, they&#8217;ll want to be\nprepared by getting pre-qualified for a mortgage and having a sufficient down\npayment. Making sure a credit report is accurate and in good condition can save\na borrower significantly on loan rates, but be sure to shop around.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Purchasing your building lot or property can be nearly as exciting as choosing your custom home options. Most desire a location that is convenient to work, schools, shopping, and entertainment. Other factors include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u2022&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Size\nof lot and how close you are to neighbors<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u2022&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Terrain\nand natural landscape<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u2022&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Direction\nthe home will face\/views<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u2022&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; HOA\nor building restrictions<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u2022&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Access\nto utilities (well, septic, sewers, electric, cable, etc.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The\nearly decision-making process should also include considering any potential\nseasonal or personal events that may affect your timeline. These can include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u2022&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; School\nyear starts and stops<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u2022&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Closing\ndates on a current home<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u2022&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Holidays<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u2022&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Impact\nof weather<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \u2022&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Any\npotential births of additional children<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Don&#8217;t\nbe dismayed if you don&#8217;t know the answers or the impact that these decisions\nmay have on your budget or choices. This is where a team of professionals can\nhelp. You will likely benefit from the assistance of a team that may include a\ngeneral contractor, architect, insurer, landscaper, real estate agent and\/or\nattorney.
