There really isn't a whole lot of agency in house buying or house building though. At least not at a mere mortals price point.

Real estate is costly, you have permitting, ordinances at city and county level, building codes... Doing anything nonstandard is hard and requires a lot of time, knowledge, and/or money

That really depends on the area. There are still rural counties where land is cheap and you can easily get a building permit as long as the plans are up to code.
