Can I really make my own house?


I built my home doing all my own labor.
My Cost: $60,000 Appraised Value: $140,000
Make my own house helps you reach these goals:

  • Bigger, better home
  • Lower monthly payments
  • Faster mortgage payoff
  • Higher starting equity
This site will familiarize you with the hands-on details of every step in the house building process. After you have a thorough knowledge of the entire process, you will be better equipped to make the decision to do all the work yourself or to hire it out.

Any house plan works because the idea is to minimize hired labor to save money. Some plans are better than others, but all will have a big savings if they are done by the owners and not contractors.
Sidenote:
Let me be clear, this site doesn't teach how to find contractors or sub-contractors to build your own house for you. Make my own house is a site that teaches you how to save over half by doing all your own work and not hiring it out. It works best with small homes. I have a lot of experience in this area because I very literally built my own house without the help of contractors and have helped others do the same.




The thing that makes all this possible is the equity you create by doing your own labor. You can use that equity to make your life better by using a low interest loan to start a business, get an education, or just sit back and enjoy low payments.

Dear friends, I hope this website can be helpful to you. I have had unbelievable success with this site and I have sold many copies of my housebuilding book, Sweat Equity.

I am no longer selling my book, but have decided to integrate as much of it as possible into this site so everyone can have it for free. At the bottom of each web page, you will find more links for getting housebuilding information.

Good luck with your building projects and God bless all of you.
