Anyone who takes on building a custom house can easily afford to spend 3 years in court losing 15k.

I'd probably be willing to lose 15k to not spend 3 years in court.

Doubly so if it came after all the stress of custom-building a home. My blood pressure is worth more than that.

"Easily"

Oh and the 15k are only for legal costs. Don't forget rent for 3 years on top of that. And all the money that you'll still have to pay for the construction. And stress (medical bills are not cheap).

Usually they could before they built the house, but the phrase “house poor” exists in common parlance for a reason.
