Find a bigger house that has been on the market a while and hasn't sold due to "issues" like decorating etc.
Buy it and put your time into updating it.
I have done this successfully and ALWAYS made good $ on resale. Buying SMART is the key.
Building your own home is a big deal and time consuming. Time is your most precious resource and irreplaceable.

It is going well, and bad all at the same time! haha... if that makes any sense!... It is getting to the point where it will speed up at this point. The outside is almost all done. and the interior work is about to start, sheetrocking, electrical final, etc..
If anyone wants to buy a vacation property, let me know. It is on Curacao, next to Aruba... You wanna talk about some nice weather!
