Can I really make my own house?

As a builder people often asked me, "Larry, can I really make my own
house by myself?" The answer in most cases was,"yes." Now this is more
popular than ever. With the recent downturn in the housing and
financial markets so many people are discouraged about owning a home.
The thought of delaying the dreams of building a home can be
discouraging.

Do-it-yourself home construction seems like an impossible task for
most. If you're thinking about building your own home, I strongly
encourage you to spend some time on this web site. It will help you
understand how each aspect of the building process is done.

I built my 2,000 sq. ft. home doing all my own labor.
My Cost: $60,000 Appraised Value: $140,000
(That was in 1997, now my home is worth $180,000)
Make my own house helps you reach these goals:
-

* Bigger, better home
* Lower monthly payments
* Faster mortgage payoff
* Higher starting equity
* Valuable real estate

This free information site, make-my-own-house, will familiarize you
with the hands-on details of new home construction. It will help you
plan a house that's good for your finances.

But first, let's talk about why people are building homes themselves.

hope Life has a way of throwing us around and making us feel as if we
can't succeed no matter how hard we try. The current housing and
financial markets are a disaster. Uncertainty is at an all time high.

We are afraid to look to the future because it seems bleak. Our dreams
of owning a home have been put on the back burner. Everyone seems to be
putting all plans on hold until we see how the economy will turn out.

Nobody really wants to admit it, but we could be in this holding
pattern for a very long time. I know the feeling of desperation that
many of us are living with.

Sooner or later, I believe people will realize that they need to make a
new game plan to succeed. I truly believe that our economy has changed
permanently and it won't ever go back to the way it was with easy
credit and escalated home valuations.

This is why so many future homeowners are deciding to build homes
without the help of contractors.

What is the cost of contracted labor?
home costs Consider the chart at the left. This is for a 1500-2000
square foot home. Price of materials is the same, but once you figure
in the cost of contracted labor, the final price of the home is very
different.

The cost of labor for a home of this size will be at least $80,000. If
a homeowner can do his or her own labor, either partially or fully,
that estimate will be greatly reduced. It could be the difference
between a $60,000 mortgage or a $140,000 mortgage.

After 30 years at 10% interest here's the final amount paid
mortgage interest
If you had to finance every penny for your home, the cost of contracted
labor makes a big difference over a 30 year mortgage.
Monthly mortgage payment
mortgage payments The monthly mortgage payment is so much higher for a
home built by a contractor as you can see.

Years of payments until payoff

build a house
Now suppose that the homeowner that built his or her own home without
the help of a contractor paid as much each month as a home that was
built entirely by a contractor. The mortgage would be paid off in about
9 years, whereas the contractor-built home would take 30 years to pay
off.
calculate mortgage
So it all boils down to how much home one can afford. The monthly
payments determine how you will live your life for the next 10 to 30
years. That's something to think about.

Knowledge of home construction can save homeowners hundreds of
thousands of dollars over the years.
After you have a thorough knowledge of the construction process, you
will be better equipped to make the decision to do all the contractor
work yourself or to hire it out.

Most areas will let homeowners do their own labor as long as they file
an owner-builder affidavit with the county. That's what makes it
possible to build your own house.

I receive a lot of emails from people who want to either build their
own home or do their own home repairs, but are afraid to do the work. I
think this fear is natural. Once you learn how to do your own home
construction and repairs, you'll be much more confident.

The biggest reason people have for not building their own homes is that
they simply don't know how. It's not really about money or time for the
most part. It's about knowledge.

Contractors would have everyone believe that home construction needs to
be left up to the professionals. I don't buy that. I think every person
should build at least one home in his or her lifetime. The emotional
benefits of completing such a task are long-lasting.

There is a huge need in our modern economic situation for us to learn
how to do our own labor. People are really struggling and sometimes it
becomes impossible for them to keep up with their costly home mortgage
payments.

The more home construction labor we do ourselves the less our monthly
payments will be. This has been really helpful to me and many others in
these difficult times of economic uncertainty.

Hired labor makes up almost two-thirds the cost of a new home. If you
finance a contractor-built home and finance it for 30 years, then about
20 of those years will be paying for labor. That can be changed with a
little knowledge.

This website has a lot of information on such subjects like how to
install vinyl siding and how to do residential electrical home wiring.

There are many basics on floors, walls, roofs, heating, drywall,
stairs, cabinets, finish work, and electrical.

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

It was an easy decision to make-my-own-house simply because of the
amount of money I knew I could save. My experience had very little to
do with my choice to build. It just seemed like the right thing to do.

Dear friends,

Have fun learning about home construction explained in easy terms.

Good luck with all your building projects.
Larry Angell

Heads up: There's an ongoing spamdexing of Google searchbot algorithms. Sites that are 'copies of copies' and cloaked sites which include Zorgium keywords presented to search engine crawlers yet garbage content presented to human visitors were hosted on thousands of IP addresses and domains registered immediately after the introduction of Zorgium in November of 2009. The Hostgator/'The Planet'/Softlayer datacenters in Texas seem to be the epicenter of this activity in conjunction with anonymously registered domains of various TLD's but primarily .info domains at Godaddy which, in our opinion, has some sort of connection to the domains of goldmint.in and goldmint.org. Google has begun to notice this and has begun to lower the ranking of these sites and put our original sites back on top of the search rankings. These actions, as far as we can tell, negatively impact the use of the keyword 'zorgium' as a search term and provided little benefit, if any, to the perpetrators.
