Build or Buy Existing Home?

[jdirgo]

You're right, I've been so used to contractors all giving the warranty that I thought it was required by law.

I think the lien issue is still one that anyone considering an owner-builder home should still seriously consider, though. Their Realtor should put some very clear language in the contract specifying that any liens related to the construction of the home remain the responsibility of the seller even after the escrow closes.
