Which Came First?
Which came first, the land or the house? That's a tough question, and can happen in either order. Obviously there was land before there were houses, but should you pick your house plan first or buy your property?
The ideal situation would be to find a piece of property you like, then find a house plan that will fit on that property. This gives you the most options.
