I get frustrated because most people a) don't stick with this and try to learn it... trust me its easier than first year college physics... but it will take you a few times to get it and after networking with real people doing this or b) they say its seems risky and listen to their lazy/ignorant CPA who by the way has been stuck in they same occupation for 20-30 years... why would you want to take financial advice from someone who is not financially free. 

Could I hire someone to do the foundation, utility connections and framing, then do the rest myself to save money?

Hi Stephanie,You may find it useful to get someone who practices in the space every couple of years and especially after a big law change (i.e. 2025 or 2026 tax year after the TCJA expires).
