So, you want to build a CubeSat?
For the average person, probably not much; The main blocker will be that it costs about $10k to build, $20k to have it launched into space (USD).

Adjusted for inflation that is not too much different from buying a couple of Apple Macintosh computers in 1984.

Honestly, I might start saving for a few years and actually do it. It sounds like a thing that would be awesome to do and more so, a good experience in general.
Would there be any restrictions for people not living in the USA?

To my knowledge, you have to check with the space agency of your country, they probably know more too.
