I think it could work in certain scenarios. I just would not want to be alone for a major purpose were something to come up. Some years my taxes are super simple, some they are more difficult. When it's difficult I hire an accountant to do them. Same with a house, but there are a million little things that people might not realize they don't know about a house.
For example my house had a situation with taxes where I had to pay investor rated taxes for a year since it was held by an investor previously. That's the tax rate I see when I look at the MLS. I would have said no to the house if my realtor had not told me the way it worked, and that they would fall off the next year. I don't know that a generic list can capture that since its specific to my locale (or not, I don't know how it works in other places and that's great since I don't have to be an expert on it).
