When you build your own home with DIY Homes you will generate instant equity upon completion. How much equity is entirely up to you and your budget. Do keep in mind that our lender will be leding you 85% of future appraised value. You will easily be able to build your home for 85% of future appraised value, which means you should move in with at least 15% equity.

If you stay at builder grade or somewhat better without going crazy, you should be able to build your new home for $75 - $85 per square foot.


Do Some of the Work Yourself

Our owner builder program allows you to perform some of the work yourself. If you don't have experience in certain areas of construction, it's always best to leave it up to a professional, but certain work can be done by owner builders to create sweat equity.

The following is an example of what you can achieve once your home is completed with the DIY Homes System. Some of our clients have seen even more than this:

As you can see, by building your own home as DIY Homes Owner Builder, your savings could be substantial over purchasing a home direct from a builder.
