"Dear Mr Cook, Thank you for writing this book. With the help of your techniques and sweat equity, we are living in our dream home and not affected by the recent housing market crisis." -- The Yang Family, California
"To assert that a house can be built 'for a song' may be slightly hyperbolic, but David Cook's book is so laden with intriguing, money-saving ideas that any owner-builder who uses just a handful of Cook's ideas is bound to save thousands of dollars on the construction of a house. Full of fascinating money-saving ideas..." -- George Ehrenhaft, author, The Builder's Secret
"Cook's book is the best advice we have seen for buying land at tax auctions and construction materials at salvage." -- Mark Smith, author, The Owner-Builder Book
BOOK DESCRIPTION
Build Your Dream House for a Song -- and own it free and clear in five years by David Noel Cook is a different breed of self-help book. Instead of step-by-step instructions, it offers an extraordinary strategy for building the house you've always wanted-whether it's a timber-frame retreat or a California contemporary. The author explains numerous tactics for saving tens of thousands, including how you can buy land for twenty percent of its retail value at tax-defaulted land sales, buy building materials at auctions for next to nothing, design for ease of construction, avoid paying rent while you build, and get the best help for the least money.
Since building his dream house in Northern California, the author has taught thousands of aspiring homebuilders his secrets to home ownership-truly believing that everyone should be able to live in a dream home he or she owns free and clear.
The author's hard-earned insights could change the life of anyone who has ever yearned to live in a beautiful house-without a mortgage.
