This is for your own protection and that of your heirs. 9. The proximity of schools and churches is a matter which should be considered somewhat, and transportation facilities are frequently important. 10. Fire and police protection must also be thought of if the house is to be built near a large town or city. How is it possible to borrow money safely for the purpose of building a home?
