Just know that buying and building an Experimental A/C is a massive commitment and undertaking. Many, many projects end up busting their budget of both time and money.
Projected build times of 1-2 years routinely end up taking 5-10 years. Many lose interest and/or money, and end up selling off their partial-builds and parts bins.
So, as a proposed recreational pilot flying a handful of times a year for the proverbial $100 hamburger, you would probably be better off renting for a while.
If you still have the build-bug after 1000 hours or so of renting, then maybe revisit the notion. Fractional ownership may be another option as well, down the road. YMMV (or YHMV).
