Do you research first!

There are certainly lots of advantages to building but it isn't necessarily cheaper.

I'm not sure about Nashville's local economy but in the hardest hit parts of the country (I'm in S. Florida) it is cheaper to buy than to build. The prices of housing fell way more than the prices of materials.

DIY will save some serious coin but is also a LOT of work.

Just some food for thought....
