Yes ! NO, maybe!
Well...it depends.
Number one- your construction skills ,blue print skills.

Most are hard to sell in the end....
Right now you can buy a lot of certified real airplane for 20G.
Thats a steal!Something to consider .
Buy one with 500 hours left TBO engine and a annual .(or reach a agreement)

A home built will always be a home built. Some carry zero for resale value.
Some are way EZ to build , others never get done.
Most have a POS for a engine.
Some fly well, others do not.
Its not a task to take lightly as the out pour of time and money can be staggering .( plus your life )
Choose wisely .
I am NOT knocking home builds . Make sure you go to Oshkosh at least once .
Some are dreams, others are the nightmares.
These might be a good deal-
Make sure all ADs are current
