```
I have been looking at starting a business and am a Dentist with lots of experience.
I also love learning about masonry and construction, but have never actually tried building anything.
Lately, I have been interested in buying things that are made locally. One construction item that I would like to invest in is a brick house; I did a lot of searching online, and this seems to be something that has a decent amount of demand.
There does seem to be a market opportunity for high-quality houses made locally.
My question is: as a dentist with zero experience building physical things, should I try building brick houses? I have plenty of space to set up a small operation and a little capital to get started. What are the pitfalls? Has anyone with a dental background moved into constructing physical items like this?

Don't expect your former job knowledge to be of much use for this endeavor.
This does not mean "Don't do it!" but rather "Be aware of the scope!".

Good luck!
