Budget Breakdown: A New Zealand Architect’s $96K Plan to Become a First-Time Homeowner
William Samuels leased land to save dough and then DIY’d a tiny home he can relocate using a flatbed truck.
Buying a home is expensive business. Looking to become first-time homeowners but without deep pockets, New Zealand architect William Samuels and his wife took a different tack.

"So we chose to build our own to ensure that it matched our expectations for livability."
