Build or Buy Existing Home?

[John S. Rabi]

quote:

The owner/builder requirement makes no sense to me because whether the house is built by a person who intends to live in the house or by a contractor who hires people to build a house, everyone must comply we the same regulations: licensed eletrician, plumber, permited house plans, inspections, etc. I think I have heard more problems from contractor built homes than owner built really. Anyway, because of unforseen situations I am glad there is a way out of the owner/builder 1 year requirement.

Nancy, the reasoning behind that law is if you build houses as an owner builder and keep selling them then you are in a business of selling houses, therefore, you have to have a license.
