Like I mentioned earlier the dollar is going to continue to lose its value, as such, all the costs associated with buidling a house - labor and building materials will go up, thus boosting the median price which acts as another inflation hedge.

The process does not seem hard, but better to know what not to do before jumping in head first :).Thanks,Jason
