New Build House Hacking

[Matthew Stokes]

When my wife and I first tried buying a home we spent about a year trying to find the perfect house hack. It was hard to do, maybe it was our market maybe it was us, not sure. Then, we had a conversation with one of our friends and they told us their plan. They would build a new home live in it for two years and sell it. I was interested. So my wife and I spent another 6 months putting together a plan on how we would do this. We started this back in 2010. We have built two homes (we did put a lot of sweat equity into the homes) and sold one (obviously we did sell every two years) and we are getting ready to sell the next one. If we sell it for what we are hoping our next house will be paid for.

I am interested if anyone else has had luck doing this method of house hacking?
