There's
a lot of discouraging news out there about the housing and financial
markets.
Many people think that it's a bad time to even think about
building a home.
I think it's a great time to build a new home
if you do it right. The cost of labor has made the price of homes soar
to the point where average people can't afford average homes. If you
can get around most or even some of the labor costs, that's money back
into your pocket.
I've
been helping homeowners do this for years and I've seen a lot
of
people reach
their goals of building homes that have low monthly
payments and a high amount of equity.
I've sold thousands of copies of my book, Sweat equity,
building a house at half cost.
It helps people reach these goals:
Sweat-Equity is a "how-to" build your own house ebook. It's 238 pages
long with lots of pics. It's important, complete, and it makes the
building process much more understandable, but if a person doesn't have
it, he or she can still build a house. I spent hundreds of dollars on
books to get the complete information during my housebuilding projects,
so this book really is a good bargain.
Here are a few pages from the book.
Sometimes
we really feel like a sailboat in the ocean without a sail. The world
just kind of tosses us all around and runs our lives.
Building
your own house creates more than just a house, it creates a powerful
financial tool with equity, it teaches valuable skills, and it gives a
sense of accomplishment that you can be proud of.
These things
are a way of grabbing hold of your life and directing your course.
Suddenly you're filled with hope and confidence that you've never had
before.
The
whole time I was building my house, I had hope for my future. I was
doing something positive and taking control of my life. It felt
great!!! I could see the long term benefits and that opened up many
different kinds of opportunities for me.
Building
a house is challenging work. There's a lot to learn. Once the project
is finished, you'll feel a sense of pride that will last for the rest
of your life.
When
you've worked really hard on your own home and you've passed the
inspections, you will know every square inch of it. That gives a sense
of confidence in your work and a sense of security that the job was
done right.
You will also have a sense of financial security
because of all the sweat-equity from your own labor. The work will pay
off in many ways.
During
the housebuilding process there will be some tasks that seem impossible
to do. We all have moments like that in life. The good part is that
there are many resources at your disposal. My book is an excellent
resource. Local stores like Home Depot and Lowes are very valuable for
information. Whatever the source of help you get, you will be able to
solve the problem.
Confidence breeds more confidence. It's a sense of victory that you
will have earned.
It
feels awesome to create something of beauty and durability. When
appraisers come in and put a dollar amount on your sweat-equity, it
makes all the hard work worth it. When friends and family compliment
you on your persistence and talents it will give a sense of fulfillment
you've never had before.
As
a modern world, we have been conditioned to leave the housebuilding to
the professionals. We have been taught that it's fine to pay for the
same house three times over thirty years. We are taught that we can
expect to work for fifteen years of our lives just to pay for a home
mortgage and ten of those years will be for interest only.
This
book, sweat-equity, teaches how to take back what belongs to us, our
money and our time. It belongs to us and we need it more than the
wealthy people who run most people's lives.
Sweat-equity is about changing a part of our culture that needs to be
changed.
I
was charging $34.95 for each copy of my book. Even at that price, I
only made a small amount of profit but it was worth the effort because
of all the wonderful emails I received thanking me for making such a
helpful housebuilding guide.
Over
2 years ago, I had heart surgery. I decided to take some much
needed time away from all stressful things in my life. I stopped
printing my book and left my web site on autopilot for awhile.
Now,
I'm back and I'm enjoying life like never before. I've decided to keep
my book out of print to keep my stress levels down, but I am offering
it as an ebook download. I'm also including 2 extra bonuses that are
really valuable.
By selling my book as a download I am able to lower the price to where
anyone can afford it. That's what I want.
I'm also including my Electrical quick wiring guide as a neat bonus. ($17.95 value)
It
has 39-pages of electrical formulas, diagrams, symbols, and codes. It
works great as an electrical reference guide at your building site.
You'll find a lot of useful information about residential electrical
wiring in this quick guide. All for free!
I'm also including something that has nothing to do with house
building, yet could be the most valuable thing of all. I
see most people living from paycheck to paycheck. Most of us need a new
way to earn long-lasting and residual income. That's why I've included
this ebook as a bonus.
I think everybody should have a free information web
site like this one that keeps the money coming in every month. You can
make a site about anything you want and earn money from it. Web sites
are now very easy to make and it only takes a few hours a week. There
are several secrets to success and I've included them all in this ebook.
This free bonus is huge! A 38-page ebook of all my Internet tips and
tricks that could change your financial life.
I would love for everyone to be able to get these downloads.
They are so valuable.
If these ebooks don't inspire you to reach your dreams of
home ownership, then I'll refund your money no questions asked.
If you're not happy, I'm not happy.
I'm sure you will be though because I've worked on these for years
carefully putting together the most useful information.
