 #3:  Not Finding Balance Between Price and Quality
Make sure you will get good money and quality out of the materials you decide to use and upgrades you consider.

#4:  Picking a Poor Location
The number one rule in real estate is location, location, location.  Before you start building, take time to pick out a great location for your home.

#5:  Poor Financial Planning
Before getting a loan for your home, make certain to get the proper financing in place and don’t overextend your budget.

#6:  Paying Contractors Too Much Too Soon
When paying contractors, you should release the money in increments.  Your lending institution will likely supervise this process closely.

#7:  Failing to Consider Your Current Lifestyle

When planning the layout of your new home, you need to consider your current lifestyle in order to make certain the layout of the home will meet your needs.

#8:  Failing to Consider Your Future Plans

In addition to considering your current lifestyle, you also need to consider your future plans.  If you plan on expanding your family, for example, you want to make certain to plan your home accordingly.

#9:  Rushing Through the Process

As you become more and more anxious about completing your home, you may feel the urge to rush through the process.  Take your time and make sure everything is done correctly.

#10:  Getting Too Stressed Out
